Washington 14th District Representative Chris Corry is optimistic a bill to provide compensation to ranchers and farmers whose land leases are terminated early by the Washington Department of Natural Resources will pass this session.  Corry introduced a similar bill in 2019, and the Republican says he has worked with various groups and DNR to make adjustments to it and bring it back this year with a compensation plan that would give the farmer or rancher net returns for the remaining years of the lease that is being terminated.  State law allows DNR to use a non-default termination to replace a lessee with a higher-revenue tenant.  The terminations have been occurring as the state receives offers from companies interested in locating solar farms on DNR lands.
