- Sarah King, the owner of a tiny Yamhill County dairy farm, fought back against Oregon's push to more tightly regulate small dairies. Her story took on a life of its own when a UA-cam content creator got ahold of it.

I'm glad the state is leaving this woman alone - (for now). Regarding that youtuber - LOL! He's not taking that video down - he's making way too much $$$ on clickbait and misinformation.
Sounds like a lobbyist was able to worm their way into putting small businesses in danger due to microscopic competition.
He will never let you interview him....
Pat used "misinformation" many times, but only played 1 small clip he hasn't really refuted anything and like his interview with the "misinformation specialist" took that small clip out of context and put up a couple "white papers" from the department steering around the actual wording of the law in question. HE LEFT OUT THE PART where I said that there was an INJUNCTION on the state wording of a CAFO. An injunction means the state, at the time of publication of the video, was not allowed to enforce their wording while the case is proceeding. I NEVER SAID this woman received a "cease and desist order," that was a general statement in the opening talking about two different issues, those orders were surrounding a different topic on water use and were discussed later in the video. Yes I said shut down because at the time the state said "you can no longer operate as usual" in their "white paper" her business, as previously operated, is no longer viable and can no longer operate as it did before which is why she sued... it could be fixed with a large investment AS I STATED IN THE VIDEO, she also mentioned the capital improvement fix as well... AND like me, she stated that she "did not see how anyone could enjoy a cow in their backyard with the law worded that way." Seems like a consensus on the impacts. BUT, as stated in our video there was an injunction so she could proceed, and as reported in a later video, the state rescinded.
Pat also claims I turned down an interview I responded to Pat with answers to which he felt were misleading. He never responded. The second time he asked I responded with a question as to why he doesn't consider making a video discussing possible solutions and mentioned one I had heard about in regards to water usage. Pat never responded. It isn't unusual to have a dialog with a reporter before agreeing to be on a zoom with them. In this case I never said "No Pat, I will not come on". I never decided he never responded.
That was an oddly false and emphasized statement with intent to cause damage to our reputation. This is deeply concerning and in my opinion lacks integrity of reporting. We have done interviews with reporters and other podcasters, but again have had more than some random news guy sending a message. I will be making that conversation public for everyone to see. To ensure there were no changes in this report we have a copy of the news video and the article on file. This response is also screenshot to see if KGW8 takes it down to censor our response.
I also told Pat that if there was something wrong on the video I would correct my statements. I published another video after my first conversation with Pat CLARIFYING what I meant about being "shut down." While Pat's video focuses on this solitary woman, our video focused on the impact the wording of the law (which he only really discusses White Papers and not the actual CAFO wording in question in this article), I explained that the costs associated with this would be financially impossible for some farmers and while the law itself doesn't shut them down it "essentially shuts many down" due to excessive financial burden.
"Misinformation" = not parroting the government approved message.
Keep up the good work!!
The greed of big food corporations
I don't really see that much issue or exaggeration/"misinformation" here at all. The only real inaccuracies to Yansa presented here was his stating that they had sent her a cease & desist order and that she was being shut down. Anything else isn't misinformation or a inaccuracy, rather, a matter of perspective and opinion based on a person's own facts they've observed. And the latter here is fine, if not encourage universally. The white papers prove the Government in fact WAS seeking to take the very over-regulation they themselves claimed was present FURTHER with both policy changes, but got squirrely when people caught wind of their BS via that very Yansa video and the various outlets who picked it up.
And the other with the water? That is clear it is literally revoking people's water rights "for the people" and then in case that isn't enough to convince people it's altruistic, it's also "to save our waterways, wetlands and wildlife like fish." Yeah right. Literally rewording the legal text to "our water" and "the people's water" and enforcing well and pump gauges on private property without notice is beyond egregiously wrong, immoral and indefensible, and proves that their intention are in fact exactly as people like Yansa claim in the video. People worked their asses off to make enough money to save enough to buy that property and move there, complete with their wells, pumps and water rights owned by them. And you move to revoke it and legally claim they have no rights to it? Inexcusable. Further, even if they did give a notice ahead of time, that is still something that should be illegal for a government to do, let alone anyone else. How exactly one can argue and think it logical and in good faith that those are not related policies is well beyond ability to fathom, because they are mutually exclusive. And Oregon has a wild amount of properties that are on wells throughout the state, most often starting within 1/2-1 mile from the edge of towns, smaller cities and suburbs, for some weird reason. You look in those areas and you're extremely hard pressed to find a single property not on well and septic.
And back to the other change that directly targeted small farmers and backyard "farmers" (just people self-sustaining on their own food supplies), what even YOU have admitted and implied here is that the big corporate dairy farms and the big dairy/ag lobbies spent a lot of money to pay their way into having Oregon's politicians back them up and give them their way with it, all because "BUT MUH PROFITS" for the few thousand dollars they might miss out on annually. Even a couple million isn't even a penny in their pocket for them. That proves the usual corruption and politicians being bought, and thus our state government being bought into the will and pockets of these corporate interests. What else is new. And it also proved that the same politicians in our government got panicked and backed out (FOR NOW) only due to the immense awareness and pressure the video Yansa posted that you're picking at in this video. Pretty ironic, and proves why this exact kind of thing NEEDS TO BE ENCOURAGED. Doesn't matter if it contains tons of opinion, "conspiracy", inaccuracies or even lies ("misinformation") - all is good as it forces mass awareness and debates to crop up on bills, changes and topics that otherwise would go ignored and unnoticed. It proves that very video was not bad or a negative, but in fact, a huge net-positive, and even has aided this lady and her tiny farm in Newberg gain a load more notoriety and name recognition than she'd have ever received otherwise. And that is huge for her, her farm and any business she decides to start from it. I guarantee 90% of us would have never learned of her or her farm's existence without that video, let alone those white papers and thus legal changes by the State. So yes, we should all be very thankful for folks like Yansa bringing these things into our attention.
If you don't think they're trying to take away people's freedom for self-reliance you aren't paying attention!
Why is the government trying to shut down these farms.
😂 yes they are
Agenda 2030 made by majority not western countries
Because it's 'owned' by the corporate world that wants to make sure an alternative food system for and by the people has no chance.
Thanks for the facts !
That UA-camr was straight up lying. Not cherry picking
Golf course's, ok. Taking farm land for computer industry, ok.
KWG News should pin the comment left by YanasaTV - seems like they've been playing phone tag, and pinning the comment would show an effort at transparency.
Fight back!!!!
Whoever approved that white paper should be investigated thoroughly for corruption.
I grew up in Clackamas county where farming was the way of life. I was born 1966.. State and Federal Government just make me sick!!!
KGW is Oregon best friend they do a great job of reporting. Great video and story showing facts.
That rightwing youtuber wasn't "cherry picking facts", he was lying. Rigthwing social media is based off of generating outrage from lies and then raking in ad money.
LOL jfc keep drinking the cool aid lefty!
Governor call Chuck you should do something about this these small farms should not have to deal with this
I like how all these farmers are pointing the finger at the government and not corporations. But don't worry I'm sure when Trump puts the CEO of Monsanto in charge of the Department of Agriculture everything will be fine again🤣
I subscribed to that channel a while ago when I noticed them basically shit talking everything for clicks. I wouldn't approach a channel like that; it's better to use YT tools to have them taken down legitimately, then you can listen to them cry on another video where they complain they're being canceled (they'll be very explicit how much they don't care, they take a lot of time to go into why it's not worth their time).
I subscribe to every crazy nationalist channel I find so I know who's going to be headed to the ammo store if their beloved demigod fails again.
Small farms need to be environmentally responsible as well. And as collective, they have just as much impact as one of the large organizations. Farmers don’t deserve a break unless everyone else is getting a break. If there’s laws in the books, they apply.
Govern me harder daddy.
But who makes the laws? Certainly not the small farmers....
