OFB MEMBER EXCLUSIVE: Join us for an important update on Initiative Petition 28 next Wednesday.

Initiative Petition 28 poses one of the greatest threats Oregon agriculture has faced in decades.

While it has not yet qualified for the November ballot, Oregon Farm Bureau anticipates a status update very soon.

We’ve spent years preparing alongside a broad coalition of farmers, ranchers, food producers, sportsmen, veterinarians, businesses, and conservation partners to ensure Oregonians understand what’s at stake.

Join our upcoming webinar to hear the latest on the initiative and how you can help protect Oregon agriculture if this proposal moves forward.
