  • Our presence at fairs, festivals and trade shows promote Oregon agriculture.
  • We provide support for teachers who participate in Summer Agriculture Institute at Oregon State University.
  • Many members volunteer and support Oregon Agriculture in the Classroom with its literacy projects and hands on learning events.
