Klamath law enforcement agencies released a statement on Klamath Falls Police Department’s Facebook page Thursday addressing Friday’s “Shut Down and Fed Up” rally in which hundreds of farmers will drive tractors and other agriculture equipment from Merrill to Midland to express frustration about the meager water season facing irrigators this year.

“The expectation, and guidance provided to the rally organizers, is that everyone involved in the rally will obey all state laws and municipal ordinances,” stated the KFPD Facebook post. “Local law enforcement will be monitoring the route to ensure laws are adhered to with community safety as our priority.”
