OFB opposes fee hikes, citing burdens on farms, rising costs, and urges streamlined, lower-cost permits for ag maintenance.

OFB supports the reforms outlined in House Bill 2692 based on farmers' experiences with Oregon OSHA's rulemaking on ag labor housing.

OFB strongly opposes the costly mandate in Senate Bill 747.

HB 2166 seeks to address agriculture challenges by providing critical data for policy decisions, aiding farmers amid rising costs.

OFB Government Affairs Manager Ryan Krabill makes comments on farm and forest land loss in Oregon.

As written, these rules put family farms at risk by creating unworkable compliance costs and shrinking available workforce housing.

Ryan Krabill and Jenny Dresler comment on the state of Oregon agriculture, ag overtime, and OR-OSHA's Ag Labor Housing rules.

Our communities must meet strict new requirements by December 1, 2024, to continue participating in FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program.

The proposed county code amendment not only stifles potential agricultural growth but also impacts the regional food supply.

To suggest that the State of Oregon is targeting small, or “backyard” farms is a stretch.
