A Yakima, WA-based activist group recently published anti-farm videos on its social media feeds that featured the Washington State Department of Health’s official logo, raising troubling questions about possible tax dollars used for political purposes. Save Family Farming has filed an official complaint with the WA Attorney General’s Office calling for an investigation into possible state sponsorship of the nonprofit “We Are ELLA” group’s anti-farm propaganda. Kenton Gartrell, a farmer and rancher in the Yakima area, tells Dillon that he’s been following the activist group nearly since its recent inception, and this wouldn’t be the first time the young organization has already run afoul of rules against possible politicking on the public dime.
