Depredation in Idaho with Dexton Lake

Dexton Lake is the son of a rancher and works for the Idaho Farm Bureau Federation. One of his areas of focus is wildlife management and support for farmers and ranchers that experience depredation (wildlife causing harm to domesticated crops or animals), which is a huge issue in the state of Idaho with no easy solution. I love learning more about the ag world and what people have to do to make sure our stores are constantly stocked with protein and produce. Enjoy!

The Ranch Podcast is the premier source for long format interviews and information in the Treasure Valley and great state of Idaho. The Boise area is home to many counties and ways of life. It’s also home to many law enforcement agencies, like Ada County and Canyon county Sheriff offices, Idaho State Police, Eagle Police Department, Meridian Police Department, and many more. The school systems in the area are also quite diverse. Boise school district and West Ada School District, though right next to each other, are quite different. Ada County is also home to our state capital and many of our elected officials. 

The Ranch Podcast is shot just north of Eagle, Idaho.
