Closely monitored farm bill activity, specifically the release of HR 2. OFB priorities included protecting current farm bill spending, maintaining unified farm bill that keeps traditional farm programs and the nutrition title together, prioritize top funding priorities, which includes risk management tools like crop insurance, commodity programs and conservation measures. HR 2 would increase direct spending by $3.2 billion over a five years period and another $2.7 billion over the next consecutive five years. OFB supports all legislation to expand opportunities for farmers to grow commercial hemp including S. 2667, the Hemp Farming Act of 2018. The US is the only major industrialized country that prohibits the cultivation of industrial hemp. Oregon is well suited to grow hemp based on climate, soil and when compared to success of sister plants like hops and cannabis.
