Oregon's leaders have reintroduced legislation they say will help address soil health needs, helping local farmers and growers.

With February here, many Washington mountains are looking a bit bare. Snowpack numbers tell a story of concern for farmers and the water supply.

Idaho's snowpack is looking a bit grim this January, but there’s a silver lining hiding in the rainfall data. Let’s unpack what this means for the water needs of the Gem State.

December has been a wet month across much of the Northwest, and while much of that fell as rain rather than snow, any precipitation is welcome news, especially in northern Idaho.

“Here in Idaho, we have a record low snowpack for this time in December, pretty much across the entire state," said Erin Whorton with NRCS.

NRCS is reminding farmers, producers and landowners across Washington that assistance is available after floods.
