Despite disasters and invasive species, Oregonians are still starting farms of their own

In Oregon, farmers and ranchers are contending with wildfires, water shortages and invasive species. Still, Oregonians continue to start small farms in the state. Next month, Oregon State University Extension Service – along with other agencies – will offer Small Farm School, an event at Clackamas Community College that includes workshops and classes on farming in Oregon. We learn more about how the extension service is supporting producers and what the industry looks like right now from Hayley White, a small farms coordinator for Marion and Polk counties.
