The Oregon Department of Agriculture is poised to assist the industry and the public in meeting great challenges over the next several years. Our agency is uniquely tasked with regulating one of Oregon’s leading industries while, at the same time, promoting and developing that industry. Our customers include, obviously, the state’s agricultural producers, processors, marketers—and all the stops along the way. Our customers also include all Oregonians, since our food safety and consumer protection functions literally reach everyone inside the state’s border. We think by doing a credible job of assisting the agriculture industry, we are also doing a service for all of Oregon since a healthy farm and ranch community helps the state’s economy and helps to preserve Oregon’s quality of life. Our commitment is stronger than ever to provide the best customer service possible while demonstrating leadership as together we find practical solutions to today’s challenges.
