Thank a Farmer on National Ag Day and Every Day

There are 67,595 farmers and ranchers in Oregon, according to the latest U.S. Census of Agriculture. Their average age is 57.9 years and 44% are women. Despite representing less than 2% of the state population, these families contribute enormously to Oregon’s economy, landscape, and quality of life.

While inflation has driven up the cost of food, Oregon’s farmers and ranchers are not getting richer.
