The Challenges Of Farming In Oregon

Corey Coyle/Wikimedia

A recent report from Oregon State University outlines some of the issues facing farming and farmers in Oregon. 

For one thing, many aging farmers are retiring.  And land costs are stopping some would-be farmers from getting into the business. 

Rogue Farm Corps is already at work on these and similar issues; in fact, the Corps co-wrote the report with OSU.  Nellie McAdams from Rogue Farm Corps and young farmer Kylie Cassidy visit with details of the issues.
