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

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

“This is a major victory for Oregon’s farmers and an appropriate check on agency overreach,” said Rep. Scharf about the legal opinion.

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.

OR-OSHA's new rules signal the beginning of a new chapter of unsustainable state policies for farmworkers and farm families alike.

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

This is a fantastic resource and refresher for new and experienced farmers.
