93% of Oregon’s farms are in individual and family ownership. Both organic farming and conventional farming have a place in Oregon agriculture, neither is “right” or “wrong.” Conventional farming allows for agriculture producers to provide healthy, safe, abundant, and affordable food for Americans and the rest of the world. Whatever method they use, organic or conventional, Oregon’s farmers and ranchers care deeply about the quality and safety of their product for the end consumer.
