Issues
The policy ground Idaho agriculture stands on.
These are the areas the firm works. Each one lists the measures the Legislature took up in the 2019 through 2026 sessions and the standing committees that handle them, so the area is described by the record rather than by adjectives.
The work inside each area is the same: tracking what is filed and reading what it actually does, preparing testimony that holds up in committee, staying in front of the legislators and staff who shape it, and carrying an agenda through the interim rather than appearing once a session.
Water Rights & Supply
Idaho water rights administration, delivery, districts, and supply: the statutes and rules that decide how water moves and who it reaches.
144 measures in 2019 through 2026, 106 enacted or adopted. 3 standing committees.
Land & Public Lands
Public and endowment lands, grazing, rangeland, land use planning, and the Agricultural Protection Areas that shield working ground from encroachment.
87 measures in 2019 through 2026, 36 enacted or adopted. 2 standing committees.
Production & Commodities
Commodity commissions, livestock brands, milk and seed standards, the Right to Farm Act, product labeling, and agricultural pests and invasive species.
83 measures in 2019 through 2026, 47 enacted or adopted. 2 standing committees.
Wildlife & Depredation
Depredation claims, predator control, wildlife relocation onto working ground, and the boards and committees that decide compensation.
26 measures in 2019 through 2026, 15 enacted or adopted. 2 standing committees.
Legislative & Regulatory Process
How Idaho agriculture policy is actually made: bill tracking through committee, the administrative rules review, and the interim work between sessions.
27 measures in 2019 through 2026, 18 enacted or adopted. 5 standing committees.
Committee membership shown throughout is the 2026 session composition. Committees re-form when a new session convenes.
