Farm Bureau is a grassroots, nonprofit, nonpartisan organization. The OFB Board of Directors is comprised entirely of volunteer leaders, 22 family farmers and ranchers who take time away from their fields and/or animals to protect, promote, and strengthen Oregon agriculture. They represent a wide variety of ag commodities, farming methods, and operation sizes. And they believe that Oregon agriculture is strongest when united and speaking with one voice in the legislature, within government agencies, in the courts, and with the public. We appreciate the passion, dedication, and hard work of these Farm Bureau leaders!
