Searchable guide at oregonfb.org Every April, Oregon Farm Bureau publishes its printed edition of Oregon’s Bounty, a guide to farms and ranches that sell their agriculture products directly to consumers. Starting on p. 15, you’ll find a listing of more than 300 farm stands, u-pick fields, CSAs, on-farm festivals, and more organized by region and opening date. All of these listings are operated by Farm Bureau members, Oregon family farmers and ranchers who care about the vitality and viability of Oregon agriculture. You can also access the guide at oregonfb.org/oregonsbounty and search for a specific ag product, like blueberries or pumpkins, or find farms that are located near you. In this issue, you’ll also meet Kevin Richards of Jefferson County Farm Bureau. He shares the remarkable story of how he left his family farm in Madras as a young adult and embarked on a career path that took him around the world and to Washington D.C. Find out why Richards decided to trade a fast-paced lifestyle on Capitol Hill to return to his roots in central Oregon and work on the family farm. Turn to p. 8 to learn more about Farm Bureau, and p. 18 for the discounts you have access to as a member. Learn about two of OFB’s award-winning programs: Century Farm & Ranch (p. 12) and the Summer Ag Institute (p. 13). Each plays an important role in promoting Oregon agriculture, an industry that is inextricably linked with our state’s heritage, economy, and quality of life. We hope you enjoy this issue, and more importantly, the quality products raised by the family farmers and ranchers of Oregon. Note that the early spring will likely bump up the typical harvest season for favorites like berries and tree fruits! 1 A return to roots H o w K e v i n R i c har d s s wa p p e d a j o b o n Ca p i t o l H i l l f o r a f ar m i n c e n t ra l Or e g o n . By Anne Marie Moss O n a March morning, Kevin Richards of Jefferson County Farm Bureau played host to a group of 90 8th graders on his family farm in Madras. With Mt. Jefferson visible in the distance, he explained how Fox Hollow Ranch is a diversified, second-generation farm growing hybrid carrot seed, mint, wheat, hay, and grass seed. “For a lot of these kids, this may be the first and only time in their lives they’ll get first-hand exposure to what a production farm is really like,” Richards said. “A lot of people get their perspective on farming from visiting a pumpkin patch or doing u-pick berries. That’s good, but that’s not all agriculture is.” Communicating about agriculture has been a recurring theme for Richards since he left his family’s farm as a young adult. As recently as two and a half years ago, his audience wasn’t middle school students, but members of Congress and reps from federal agencies like the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture and Environmental Protection Agency. 2 In 2013, Kevin Richards returned to his family farm in Madras after 10 years in Washington D.C. Now he farms full-time with his dad. Richards worked for the American Farm Bureau in Washington D.C. on public policy and regulatory issues. Fine suits, meetings with dignitaries, and a mile-a-minute schedule were the norm. Today, his workday uniform includes something from Carhartt, sturdy boots, and a baseball cap. Most meetings are with his dad Martin about crop planting, harvest, or irrigation. Instead of a briefcase, his dog Gus is always by his side. And the commute is short since he, his wife Natalie, and two young children live where he works. After almost a decade of working on Capitol Hill, in 2013 Richards moved back to Madras “in time for planting” to start a life as the second generation on his family’s farm. Madras to D.C. & back Richard’s journey from a central Oregon farm and back again is remarkable. In 1988, his parents purchased the farm and moved the family from Clackamas County to Madras. As Oregon Farm Bureau soon as he was old enough, Richards got involved in agriculture education programs, first 4-H then FFA. From the start, he was an upwardly mobile go-getter, winning state leadership positions in both organizations. In short order, Richard’s drive and talent resulted in an extraordinary résumé: an economics degree from Oregon State University, masters of economics and public policy from Georgetown, a six-month fellowship at Monsanto, a job with the U.S. Dept. of State in the agriculture, biotechnology, and trade affairs office — and an internship at the White House for the Council of Economic Advisers. “This was during the 2008 financial crisis. It was a fascinating time to be at the White House,” he said. Next, Richards used his economics degree to land a heady position as an economic consultant for a small international firm, where he focused on infrastructure spending and public policy. “I was director of regulatory affairs for American Farm Bureau, working primarily on biotechnology and some trade and sustainability issues,” he said. He regularly interacted with national lawmakers and the federal agencies that regulate biotechnology. “I quickly realized how vulnerable farmers are directly because of regulations and public policy — but also indirectly because it affects the businesses we rely on to sell our products and to supply us with quality seed and other inputs we need to raise our crops. “Farm Bureau does a great job of connecting people and giving them a single voice. It also does a huge service just by giving farmers the means to advocate for agriculture,” he said. “To its credit, it was working for Farm Bureau that gave me a window back into what farm life was like.” “I was kind of thrown into the deep end of the pool as an economic consultant,” he said. “In my mid-20s, I was working with senior officials of foreign governments that were responsible for spending hundreds of millions of dollars on infrastructure projects.” The job took him to the Philippines, Pakistan, Vietnam, Australia, and New Zealand. To hear Richards describe his career path in a casual, self-effacing manner while standing in a field of alfalfa is pretty incredible. Frankly, at 34, he doesn’t look old enough to have accomplished so much. On both personal and professional levels, the consulting job prepared him for the American Farm Bureau, where he began working in 2011. Searchable guide at oregonfb.org One reason Richards decided to return to Madras was a desire to raise his family in a rural setting. His sons Owen (pictured) and Royce are the third generation to live on the farm. 3 Visiting rural communities around the country and interacting with Farm Bureau members who visited D.C. reminded Richards of his own childhood on the family farm in Madras. And how that would be a great place to raise his own kids. Caring for carrots Now back on the farm full time, Richards admits to “a steep learning curve.” That’s partially because of Fox Hollow’s crop diversity: hybrid carrot seed, peppermint, wheat, alfalfa hay, and Kentucky blue grass for seed. Every field on the 600-acre farm grows a combination of these commodities over a five-year period. This rotation helps manage and balance water and labor needs, soil health, and profitability. The farm’s premiere crop is the hybrid carrot seed. Not carrots mind you, the seed to grow carrots. The climate and altitude of Jefferson County are perfectly suited for carrot seed cultivation, and the region produces 85% of the hybrid carrot seed planted in the United States, according to Oregon State University. Hybrid carrots are made by crossing two carrot varieties to achieve specific characteristics, like sweetness or a certain shape. “It seems like carrots have become more popular and specialized,” said Richards. “It’s been a good crop for farmers in this area.” But not all carrots are planted alike. “We raise carrots two different ways. One is called ‘seed to seed.’ In August we plant seed and 13 months later, we harvest seed,” said Richards. “The other way is by planting ‘stecklings,’ which are carrot roots. We have about 120 acres that we’ll plant to stecklings this spring. Twenty to 30 people will be out working for about two weeks. “So it’s a labor-intensive crop, but it’s also management-intensive. We spend a lot of time in the field thinning and checking for weeds, insects, and disease.” Instead of overhead sprinklers, the carrot plants get water from a drip irrigation system that delivers the exact amount of water needed via hoses in the ground. This process has improved the farm’s water efficiency, and helps prevent disease and bugs that can fester in puddles of standing water. (Other crops on the farm work well with traditional wheel-line irrigation, however.) When the carrot plants mature, they start to flower. The hybridization process is done by honeybees that cross-pollinate different varieties that are planted next to each other. “Then we harvest the carrots almost exactly like we harvest wheat or any seed crop grown in Oregon,” he said. First a swather is used to cut the plants into rows called “windrows,” The hybridization process that creates the specialized seed is done by honeybees that cross-pollinate different carrot varieties planted next to each other in the field. 4 Oregon’s Bounty Farm Stand Guide which are left to dry for a few days. Then a combine collects the stalks and separates out the seeds. “By that point, the actual carrot root is kind of woody and doesn’t have any value. So it just gets worked back into the ground,” said Richards. The farm contracts its product with a local company, Central Oregon Seed. From there the seed can head to a larger seed company, which will sell it domestically or abroad. Down to earth As a commercial-scale farm that grows crops, the health of the land is paramount to its sustainability. Always forward-thinking, Richards is exploring ways to bolster the soil’s constitution. This year the farm purchased machinery that minimizes tillage, which are processes like plowing that are done to prepare ground for planting. The goal of this low-till equipment is to reduce soil erosion and increase biological fertility. Other practices include plowing more crop residue back into the ground to increase nutrient levels, rotating the crops that are grown in a field, and grid testing across a field to pinpoint variances in soil condition. Searchable guide at oregonfb.org In 1994, the Richards clan won “Farm Family of the Year” in a contest through the Oregon State Fair. Today, three families live on the property. While Kevin and his dad Martin run the farm full-time, the rest of the family helps out in a variety of ways. Fox Hollow doesn’t have any organic crops, but Richards is experimenting with some organic-type farming techniques. “We’re trying a product that’s a combination of processed chicken manure and synthetic fertilizers that gives us a little more microbe and bacteria for the soil,” he said. “It used to be that it was organic vs. conventional farming, and the two weren’t really compatible. I think the way farming is evolving is to understand that it’s more of a continuum. There are organic-type practices that can be very effective and beneficial on a commercial scale in conventional agriculture.” The farm also has a few conservation projects in the works. The family won a grant to install two filtration ponds that will clean excess irrigation water before it enters a nearby creek. Land buffers around the ponds will be returned to native dryland grasses and kept as wildlife habitat. 5 So how has the transition been from visiting members of Congress on Capitol Hill to researching a chicken manure blend as a fertilizer option? “Farming is certainly not always the most glamorous life,” Richards laughed. “But it has huge benefits, like the time I get to spend with my family. No day is boring. We get to run a business, drive a tractor, work with our hands, make decisions. It’s very rewarding.” Talking GMOs As a person who worked on biotechnology issues in Washington D.C., Richards is very knowledgeable about the topic from a public policy and regulatory perspective. Now back in Madras, he has the added perspective of a family farmer who grows a GMO (genetically modified organism) crop. The farm raises GMO alfalfa, one of eight commercially available genetically engineered crops. It’s a good choice for the farm because it requires fewer chemicals to protect the plants from weeds, meaning less tractor driving, less fuel used, and less soil disruption (tillage). “A lot of the focus of the debate on GMOs is about if it’s healthy and safe or not. But I think what’s lost is that it’s dramatically improving agriculture’s impact on the environment,” said Richards. “Reducing tillage, reducing emissions from tillage, reducing carbon from tillage, making it so we’re using dramatically fewer pesticides, and using herbicides in a much more effective and safer way.” The GMO alfalfa also results in fewer weeds, which is good for the soil — and also the end user, which in the case of alfalfa hay, is livestock. 6 Scanning the open green fields where he spent his childhood with the white peak of Mt. Jefferson in distance, he added, “Plus we get to do it in a beautiful spot with great views and good weather most of the year. ” See a video of Kevin Richards on his family farm on OFB’s YouTube channel. Find the link at oregonfb.org. Even though the modification of crops to cultivate specific characteristics is an ancient practice, the GMO crops of today are relatively new on the scene, and therein lies some of the consumer concern. “My personal opinion is that it’s skepticism and fear for the unknown. Many don’t fully understand what it means when something is genetically modified,” said Richards. “Modern biotechnology, like the alfalfa, is really only about 25 years old. There’s still a long way to go in terms of educating the general public. But GMO crops aren’t more or less harmful than any other crop that we grow or any other food that’s in our food supply.” As the public GMO discussion continues, a good point to remember is that consumers will continue to have a choice in the food they buy. “My family buys organic on occasion. I don’t seek it out, but I’m very happy to buy it when it’s a better product and it’s affordable. And I’m very happy that option is available to a lot of consumers,” said Richards. “But demonizing technology isn’t necessary to maintain that choice. It’s not necessary for it to be either/or, all organic or all conventional.” For more information on GMOs, visit GMOAnswers.com. Oregon’s Bounty Farm Stand Guide Hard work deserves rewards like this.

F irst established in Oregon in 1919, Farm Bureau is a grassroots, nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that advocates for family farmers and ranchers in the political and public arenas. The guiding principle: agriculture producers have a stronger voice when they speak together. Farm Bureau’s issue positions are created and approved by family farmers and ranchers. These members live and work in all 36 Oregon counties, produce every one of Oregon’s 220+ ag products, and represent all sizes and types of production. OFB believes that all types of agriculture are valuable and needed: organic, conventional, biotech, and no tech. Oregon farmers and ranchers are the best people to decide what commodities and production methods are right for their own operations and customer bases. The COUNTRY connection To understand the partnership between the Farm Bureau and COUNTRY Financial, you have to go back to the early 20th century. That’s when groups of farmers began organizing to promote agriculture and share ideas to improve their farming methods. One of the most pressing needs of America’s farmers in the early 1900s was insurance protection; agricultural business included many hazards that were difficult or impossible to insure. To provide protection for agriculture producers in this region, the Farm Bureaus of Oregon, Washington, and Nevada joined to create the Northwest Farm Bureau Insurance Company. In 1986, COUNTRY Financial purchased this company. While continuing to provide much-needed services to family farmers and ranchers and their neighbors, COUNTRY also provides important support for OFB’s Young Farmer & Rancher Program and other leadership efforts. COUNTRY Financial’s ongoing partnership with Oregon agriculture producers continues to benefit the lives and livelihood of thousands of current — and future — farmers and ranchers across the state. Videos feature young Oregon farmers T his spring, OFB debuted a series of YouTube videos profiling seven members of the Young Farmers & Ranchers Committee. Check out these short videos and get to know some of Oregon’s next-generation agriculturalists: what they do, why they love it, and why they’re involved in Farm Bureau. The featured farmers are YF&R Chair Kathy Hadley, Vice Chair Mary Flegel, Evan Kruse, Jason Flowers, Logan Padget, Brenda Frketich, and Kevin Richards (also profiled in this magazine).

We raise wheat, peppermint, alfalfa, and grass seed. I’m the fourth generation to work on our farm. Why do you love farming? I love the challenge of working on a variety of things. There’s growing the crops, but also maintaining the equipment, working in the shop, managing employees, and taking care of the business side of the farm. No two days are alike. What’s a misconception about Oregon agriculture? I think most people don’t give farmers enough credit for being good environmental stewards. We work hard to use resources efficiently and take care of the land and water. I’m the fourth generation to make a living off of this land. We’re doing everything we can to keep our farm healthy and viable for my kids and future generations. Why are you involved in Farm Bureau? My family has a tradition of being active in Farm Bureau. I think it’s one of the most effective means we have to actually make a difference and keep Oregon agriculture sustainable. Sue Vanek Jefferson County Farm Bureau president What do you raise? We’re a family farm raising carrot seed, wheat, alfalfa, corn silage, beet seed, and garlic. We try different things to see what works in our area. Last year we 10 raised buckwheat as an experimental crop and it worked out really well. Our new venture is chickens. We have 14 chickens now. I don’t know why we waited so long! Why do you love farming? I love being my own boss, living out in the country, and raising my kids on a farm. I think growing up on a farm teaches my kids a lot of life lessons and skills. Why is Farm Bureau important? I’m really proud of the work Jefferson County Farm Bureau has done to protect our farmground from development. We’ve really stepped up to the plate on some of those land use issues. Without land for farming, Oregon agriculture won’t survive. I think everyone who’s got a farm should be involved in Farm Bureau. While we’re farming, OFB is representing us in the legislature. Without Farm Bureau, who’s going to advocate for agriculture? Karl Zweifel Tillamook County Farm Bureau president What do you raise? Basically I’m a custom farmer. I raise replacement heifers for a dairy, haul hay and manure for a few farms, and grow corn. I’m the fourth generation of my family to farm. In Tillamook County, we don’t have to irrigate our crops much because God does it for us. They call it the land of cheese, trees, and ocean breeze. What’s a challenge facing your farm? Keeping up with the rules and regulations. There’s always something new. Oregon Farm Bureau Our overhead costs keep increasing. We’re trying to adapt by using more technology and fewer people. Why are you active in Farm Bureau? Farm Bureau fights for my rights to be a farmer, and I’m proud of that. It’s very important to me. During this year’s state legislative session, I came to Salem to testify on a bill with Farm Bureau. I wanted the lawmakers to know how proposed legislation was going to affect me and my farm’s bottom line. Wes Miller grain, beef, field corn for wildlife/ duck hunting, and sweet sorghum for alcohol (fuel and/or distilled bever ages) and syrup. What are some challenges facing your farm? Estate planning to figure out the best way to pass the farm down to the next generation. Also, the rising prices of inputs, which are things we need to run the farm like seed, fuel, chemicals, etc. As they say, farmers are “price takers, not price makers,” and it’s difficult to make up those extra costs. What do you raise? I’m a third-generation farmer raising hay, What do you like about Farm Bureau? I like the ability to join with other farmers to advocate for political decisions that enhance farming success. We’re working to keep family farms and ranches going. See “Farmland” Ag-approved: The Apple Orchard Riddle Benton County Farm Bureau president Have you heard about the documentary “Farmland”?

Celebrating Oregon’s ag heritage T he Oregon Farm Bureau Foundation for Education’s Century Farm & Ranch program is one of the oldest agricultural heritage recognitions in the nation. It honors farms and ranches that have remained within the same family and operational for at least 100 years. A Sesquicentennial status is available for those that have reached the 150-year mark. One of Oregon’s 28 Sesquicentennial farms is Batchelder Farms in Hillsboro. This farm was founded in 1858 by James Hayward, who purchased the 447acre property after moving to Oregon from California during the Gold Rush years. A man named William L. Batchelder met the farm’s owner while delivering hay to the stable. Batchelder got a job at Hayward Farm, which had grown to almost 500 acres by this time — and eventually married Hayward’s daughter Victoria. The farm has successfully passed through five generations of the Batchelder family, and along the way was renamed Batchelder Farms. The farm’s early crops were hay and grain. In the mid-1940s, the fourth generation added dairy cattle and chickens. Today the family farm raises wheat, clover, and grass seed. Batchelder Farms was awarded Century status in 1958, and in 2014, was honored with Sesquicentennial status for more than 150 years of operation within the same family. Lewis Batchelder of Washington County Farm Bureau submitted the application on behalf of the farm. The 2015 class of Century or Sesquicentennial farms will be honored during a special ceremony at the Oregon State Fair. 12 For more information about the Century Farm & Ranch Program, visit oregonfb.org/centuryfarm or contact Andréa Kuenzi at 503.400.7884, [email protected].

Summer Ag Institute connects teachers & farmers T ell the teachers in your life to register for the 2015 Summer Ag Institute! It’s an award-winning program that introduces educators to Oregon agriculture through an interesting, action-packed experience where participants come away with new perspectives and lesson plans. A project of the Oregon Farm Bureau Foundation for Education, SAI is a three-credit, week-long, graduate-level class through Oregon State University that educates K-12 teachers with little or no background in agriculture. The goal of SAI is to help educators use agriculture as a context for teaching standard subjects like science, math, social studies, and English. Current, factual, and scientific information about agriculture is presented, and participants are provided with educational materials to help them incorporate what they’ve learned into their classrooms. Since its first summer in 1989, SAI has enrolled hundreds of Oregon teachers with the goal of helping to promote the importance of agriculture to society. Through SAI, teachers are given first-hand experiences in the agriculture community. The week includes field trips Searchable guide at oregonfb.org to farms and ranches, tours of processing plants, and lectures and hands-on labs taught by university professors. The highlight of the week is an overnight stay on a working farm where the teacher has an opportunity to meet a farm family. “We get such great feedback from teachers who participate,” said Jana Dick, coordinator of SAI-La Grande. “Not only do they gain a lot of great lesson plan ideas, but they often start to question popular misconceptions about agriculture after they learn about it first-hand and interact with family farmers and ranchers.” There are two sessions of SAI each summer: one held in Corvallis, June 21-26, and a second held in La Grande, July 12-17. Enrollment cost for a graduate-level, three-credit session is a great deal at $600.

With 7,000 member families professionally engaged in the industry and a total membership of 61,000 Oregon families, Farm Bureau is the state’s largest general agriculture organization. Virtually every aspect of public policy touches family agriculture in some way. Farm Bureau uses a time-tested, open, democratic grassroots process to reach its public policy positions.
