Walla Walla County Fights High Straw Prices for Roads
Walla Walla County Commissioners oppose paying 28 dollars per load for straw to straw the roads. They say 20 dollars per load is too high and labor and hauling costs make county purchases impractical. The board plans no straw purchase this year unless locals supply material and labor. Some private efforts have begun but are limited in scope.
