Oregon Agricultural Heritage Program

The Oregon Agricultural Heritage Program is a state initiative that provides funding to preserve and protect working farms and ranches that have historical, cultural, or ecological significance. It aims to keep these land areas active in agricultural use, safeguarding Oregon's rural heritage and natural resources for future generations. By offering financial support and incentives, the program helps landowners maintain sustainable farming practices while preventing development that could threaten these valuable landscapes. Overall, it promotes a balance between agriculture, environmental conservation, and community legacy.
