OFB opposes SB 1154 because of its sweeping scope, significant complexity, and rushed policy process.

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

The organization urges the committee to oppose SB 427 in favor of policies that sustain both agriculture and water resources.

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.
