Bureaucrats are not just targeting the four lower Snake River dams, they're targeting every dam, a Northwest online advocate for the dams says.

"I really think there needs to be a growing sense of alarm in the ag industry," said Adam Ratfliff, a filmmaker and social media content creator.

Among his projects is "Armchair Engineer," described as a "web series about bridges, dams and common sense."

Ratliff spoke during Idaho Wheat Commission's "From the Field" webinar June 27.

The lower Snake River dams represent "the single most impactive environmental and economic issue" for the region, largely driven "by a side that's not afraid to fudge the facts," he said.
