Walden applauds new waterway definition This bird by Natalia Salazar is one of the many artworks that will make up the elementary art show at The Dalles Art Center. The exhibit, which features the work of elementary school in the Gorge, is scheduled to run through Feb. 8. A closing celebration is planned at the center 3 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 8. Mark B. Gibson photo WSU conference brings women in ag together Margaret Viebrock. The stress in farming has always exist- ed, but the levels soar during times of high costs and low returns. The interactive and engag- ing conference will motivate women in agriculture to develop a self-care plan and realize the connection between a healthy person and a healthy farm. The format of this conference “enables us to offer our headline speakers at all locations, while still tailor- ing the conference content for each region,” Viebrock added. “Last year, nearly 500 women attended,” said Viebrock. “Many attendees reported it is the best confer- ence for women producers because it presents practical information they can use right away.” The lineup for the day includes Brenda Mack, a third-generation farmer in Minnesota who is also a be- havior and wellness professor with Bemidji State University, and Shauna Reitmeier, also a third-generation farmer, who specializes in behavioral health with the Northwest Mental Health Center in Minnesota. Together they will help women farmers strengthen their personal health care to reduce the effects of stress, worry and exhaustion. Sue Schneider, Colorado State University Extension, will teach women how to make mindful farming and personal decisions without reacting to negative thoughts, emotions and judgements. Each location will have a local panel of women farmers who will explain how they have developed their own self-care plan to deal with day-to-day events and make mindful decisions that helped them be successful in farming. Gabrielle McNally, who represents the Women for the Land: American Farmland Trust’s Initiative, will explain the program, which engages women farmers on topics of conservation, farmland preservation and land access.

On Saturday, Jan. 25, the 2020 Women in Agriculture Conference will offer women in Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Alaska and Hawaii a unique opportunity to gather in three different locations for a one-day event featuring knowledgeable speakers, inspiring stories, networking with other pro- ducers and practical advice for learning new skills.

This year’s event, “Healthy Farms,” covers the topic of cultivating personal resilien- cy to handle all the “ups and downs” as a women farmer. It is no secret that things can be tough for farmers, with both problems that can be con- trolled and issues farmers try to control when they can’t, according to WSU Douglas & Chelan County Extension Director and conference PRINTING peer-to-peer learning circles in local areas. This conference is designed for women who are farming, as well as new and aspiring farmers. Supporting spouses, stu- dents, interns or people who own an agriculture-related business are also welcome.

Representative Greg Walden (R-Hood River) released a statement Jan. 23 applauding the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for providing a new definition of “Waters of the United States” (WOTUS). Since the Obama Administration’s 2015 WOTUS ruling, Walden said he has heard concerns from rural Oregonians that the rule was burdensome and would harm their work. The Obama-era ruling significantly expanded the EPA’s jurisdiction over land use decisions. The previous WOTUS definition enabled the EPA to potentially regulate bodies of water like drain ditches on farmland, which resulted in farmers and ranchers facing uncertainty as to who might face litigation or onerous permit requirements. “For years, farmers and ranchers across Oregon have expressed their concerns to me about the heavy-handed Obama-era definition of WOTUS,” said Walden. “They stressed that their intermittent stream or irrigation ditch would be subject to the burden of overreaching federal regulation. The EPA’s new definition of WOTUS will protect both our environment and our rural communities. Today’s announcement is welcome news for rural Oregon. I applaud President Trump and his administration for listening to the concerns of America’s farmers and ranchers and delivering on the promise to revise WOTUS.” Walden was one of the first critics of the 2015 Obama-era ruling and has since pressed Congress to revise it. When the Trump Administration first announced their decision to revise WOTUS, Walden shared his strong approval.
