About Us
Farm Bureau is an independent, grassroots, non profit working for the benefit of the states farming, ranching, and natural resources communities.
FB is the states largest general Ag organization.
Only 1% of Oregonians are farmers or ranchers, speaking with a united voice through the Farm Bureau amplifies their concerns in the legislature. 97% of Oregons farms and ranches are family owned and operated.
The agriculture industry is unique in that nearly every aspect of public policy directly impacts farmers and ranchers ability to produce food, fiber, fuel, and foliage.
Specifically in Tillamook County we stay informed about what bills are coming through to the legislature. Our lobbyists fight against bills that will impact farming and the natural resources communities that we represent.
We often touch base with our local representatives at farm bureau meetings. Cyrus Javadi and Susane Weber are currently representing us.
What We Do
First established in 1919, Farm Bureau is a grassroots nonprofit organization that represents the interest of family farmers and ranchers in the public and policy making arenas. Our goals are to keep agriculture thriving for future generations, expand its economic opportunity and viability and educate society about why agriculture is essential to our lives and is so important to Oregon’s economy, culture, landscape, and quality of life. As a grassroots organization, the Oregon Farm Bureau board of Directors and all County Farm Bureaus are comprised of volunteer leaders- family farmers and ranchers who take time away from their fields and animals to make a difference for Oregon agriculture, their rural communities and a cherished way of life. All of our policy and political priorities develop from a time-tested, democratic process that begins with an individual’s concerns at the county level. Positions, ideas, and initiatives then make their way to the OFB annual meeting where Farm Bureau members from around the state meet to discuss and vote upon the organizations, official policy positions and goals for the coming year.
