The Oregon House of Representatives passed HB 4002, overtime for ag workers, after narrowly failing to pass a motion with bipartisan support to protect both farmworkers AND farms. This bill is not ready. Contact your Senator! #orpol #orleg #saveoregonfarms oregonfb.org/advocacy/?vvsr…

OFS went to Washington DC in April! We worked hard with the EPA to advocate for safe, responsible pesticide use. #oregon #oregonagriculture #Oregonforestry #advocateforag #DC #agriculture #forestry

What has OFS been up to this session? Check out our mid-session report! ofsonline.org/ofspublications

Pesticides approved by the U.S. EPA have to make it through one of the most rigorous scientific review processes in the world. OFS will continue to advocate for science-based policies related to the tools and technologies our land managers need in order to do their jobs.

Today is the first annual Sugarbeet Day at the Oregon State Capitol. In an effort to shine light on seed and sugar production in Oregon! OFS is proud to support! Check out snakeriverbeet.com

It's Pollinator Week! OFS has partnered with the Oregon Bee Project to promote and support the science-based strategy for protecting and promoting both wild and managed bees through education, pollinator-friendly practices, and research. #OregonAgriculture #research #PollinatorWeek

You can protect pollinators AND your crops! Always remember the label is the law! Know and understand the restrictions before purchasing a pesticide. When it comes to insecticides, timing is key! Visit: epa.gov/pesticide-labe… for more info!

Much of Oregon Agriculture is pollinated by managed bees. Whether that's hives, like we are used to seeing, or managed ground nesting bees (alfalfa!). A lot of work goes into making sure every last plant produces! #OregonAgriculture #pollinators #PollinatorWeek

Beneficial insects are an important part of any integrated pest management (IPM) plan. Lady beetles and green lacewings are just 2 that are common in Oregon. Check out how Wilbur-Ellis Agribusiness and AeroTract partnered on this new green lacewing egg dispersal project!
