The Oregon Farm Bureau Federation (OFBF) held its annual convention in Portland this year where delegates, representing every Oregon county, reelected President Angi Bailey on Thursday afternoon.

The following is a letter sent to Governor Kotek on August 5, 2025 from OFB President Angela Bailey and OCA President Matt McElligott regarding the potential veto of Senate Bill 976.

Multigenerational family farms are disappearing at an alarming rate. Between 2017 and 2022 alone, Oregon lost over 2,000 farms.

Farmers across Oregon met to debate, amend, and approve policies meant to ensure the viability and sustainability of farming and ranching.

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