Directing and Preserving Idaho's Water with Brian Olmstead

Brian Olmstead is one of eight Water Resource Board members that are directly appointed by the governor of Idaho to direct and preserve our limited water.

Legislation to Preserve Idaho Farm Life with Braden Jensen

Braden Jensen works for Idaho's Farm Bureau. Last year the bureau advocated for and worked with legislators on a bill that would offer incentives to farmers and land owners that would allow them to get benefits of temporary commitments towards preserving land.
