  • Summary

  • When it comes to conversations about water, farmers are usually pitted against tribes and conservationists. The tensions between farmers and tribes in the Klamath basin have developed over decades and, in some instances, have teetered on the edge of violence. Today, many farmers recognize the plight of the salmon but are worried that if dam removal doesn't restore fish populations, especially in the short term, they will be the ones to pay the price and lose their water access, which could spell disaster for farm operations. In this episode, I pay a visit to Ryan Walker's farm in Siskiyou County, California where a small but mighty creek with a surprising history has a lot to tell us about why farmers are concerned about dam removal. But it also may hold some lessons about the opportunities for river restoration projects that everyone can get behind.

    This podcast was made possible by support from American Rivers and was produced by Blue Canoe Studios with invaluable guidance from Kerry Donahue.
