Environmental activists are advocating for the removal of four dams along the Snake River to protect endangered salmon populations. This proposal has sparked concern among agricultural exporters and farmers, particularly in the Pacific Northwest, which is the largest exporter of wheat. Approximately 45% of the wheat transported via the river originates from the Snake River. This change would significantly affect the 7,500 farm families in Oregon, Idaho, and Washington, jeopardizing their ability to competitively market their products.
