‘Right to farm’ law among targets in Legislature
Farm lobbyists
said they expect
new threats
By MATEUSZ
PERKOWSKI
Capital Bureau
SALEM — Agribusi-
ness groups have cheered the
Trump administration’s vow
to roll back federal regulations
but they continue to fear over-
reach by the state government
in Oregon.
With Democrats controlling
the Legislature and the gov-
ernor’s office, farm lobbyists
said they expect new threats to
emerge during the legislative
session.
Despite optimism at the
national level, the political cli-
mate in Oregon “sucks some of
the air out of the room,” said

Food and Shelter agribusiness group, speaks with Jenny
Dresler of the Oregon Farm Bureau about the upcoming
legislative session.
Katie Fast, executive director
of the Oregonians for Food and
Shelter agribusiness group.
Though Republicans picked
up one seat in the state Sen-
ate during last year’s election,
they’re still a minority in both
legislative chambers and sev-
eral moderate-leaning Demo-
crats have left their positions,
Fast said during the 2017 Ag
Summit, organized by the
Dunn Carney law firm.
One proposal to be consid-
ered during the upcoming leg-
islative session, Senate Bill
499, would remove protec-
tions for pesticide usage from
the state’s “Right to Farm and
Forest Law,” which prohibits
lawsuits and local ordinances
against common farming prac-
tices, she said.
“It’s a big attack on the
whole program,” said Fast.
Another piece of legislation
— House Bill 2469 — would
effectively allow Josephine
County to ban genetically engi-
neered crops, she said. State
law pre-empts local govern-
ments from regulating such
crops, but includes an excep-
tion for Jackson County.
Lawmakers will also be
asked to consider Senate
Bill 500, which removes the
requirement people to notify
the state Department of Agri-
culture before filing lawsuits
that allege damage from pesti-
cides, Fast said.
Though bills have yet to
be introduced, Oregonians for
Food and Shelter also expects
legislation that would impose
new notification requirements
for pesticide spraying as well
as restrictions on neonicotinoid
insecticides, she said.
Labor advocates succeeded
in getting paid sick leave and
minimum wage increases
passed during recent legisla-
tive sessions, and will turn their
aim to new policy proposals in
2017, said Jenny Dresler, state
public policy director for the
Oregon Farm Bureau.
Under House Bill 2193,
for example, large employers
would have to provide “pre-
dictable scheduling” under
which workers would be paid
“penalty wages” if their shifts
change with less than two
weeks’ notice.
While
smaller-scale
employers wouldn’t be sub-
ject to the requirement, their
workers would have the right
to offer input on their work
schedules under the bill.
It’s also likely that labor
advocates will propose a 1
percent payroll tax to pay for
a statewide family and medi-
cal leave policy for workers,
Dresler said.
Farms and other businesses
will be pushing for transporta-
tion funding that would allevi-
ate congestion and reduce the
time their products get to mar-
ket, said Jeff Stone, executive
director of the Oregon Associ-
ation of Nurseries.
However, there may not be
“enough oxygen” for such a
proposal given the need to fill
the state’s $1.8 billion budget
hole, Stone said. “You may not
be able to get both.”
The Capital Bureau is a col-
laboration between EO Media
Group and Pamplin Media
Group.
Trump signs orders advancing Keystone, Dakota pipelines
Projects were
blocked during
Obama’s tenure
By JULIE PACE
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Pres-
ident Donald Trump moved
to advance construction of
the Keystone XL and Dakota
Access oil pipelines Tuesday,
a pair of projects that were
blocked by the Obama admin-
istration due in part to environ-
mental concerns. Both orders
are subject to renegotiations of
the agreements.
Trump also signed a notice
requiring the materials for the
pipelines to be constructed in
the United States, though it
was unclear how he planned to
enforce the measure.
“From now we are going
to start making pipelines in
the United States,” Trump said
from the Oval Office.
Trump has sought to focus
his first full week in office on
jobs and the economy. Repub-
licans, as well as some unions,
have cited the pipeline projects
as prime opportunities for job
growth.
Former President Barack
Obama stopped the proposed
Keystone XL pipeline in late
2015, declaring it would have
undercut U.S. efforts to clinch a
global climate change deal that
was a centerpiece of his envi-
ronmental legacy. The pipe-
line would run from Canada to
Nebraska where it would con-
nect to existing lines running
to U.S. refineries on the Gulf
Coast. The U.S. government
needs to approve the pipe-
line because it would cross the
nation’s northern border.
Separately, late last year,
the Army Corps of Engineers
declined to allow construction
of the Dakota Access pipeline
under Lake Oahe, saying alter-
native routes needed to be con-
sidered. The Standing Rock
Sioux tribe and its supporters
say the project threatens drink-
ing water and Native Ameri-
can sites, though Energy Trans-
fer Partners, the company that
wants to build the pipeline, dis-
putes that and says the pipeline
will be safe.
The pipeline is to carry
North Dakota oil through South
Dakota and Iowa to a shipping
A happy place,
