Farms mean barns, tractors and fertilizer-spreading industrial drones. I don't think it is realistic for Thurston County government to target the preservation of commercial enterprise as a goal. Yes - economic development policies in the form of property tax classifications for productive farmland (and support facilities) is appropriate. But for a County goal: home gardens. The more each household learns to grow on our own, the gentler we will be on our lands overall.
