The Waddington family of Central Washington has been farming and raising beef cows for nearly 30 years.
But the business doesnât look anything like it did back in 1991, when Justin and Tyler Waddington were teenagers and their parents, Tim and Marilyn, started farming hay near the Yakima Valley town of Harrah.
In fact, Waddington Farms doesnât even resemble the operation of a decade ago.
âIf we were still doing what we were 10 years ago, I donât know if weâd still be in business,â said Justin Waddington, who manages the farming side while Tyler focuses primarily on the cattle.
