The agency will also pay an addition- al $30,000 to each of the two farms — Pan-American Berry Growers and B&G Ditchen — as part of a recent legal settle- ment. The farms have agreed to withdraw their counterclaims against DOL and neither party is admitting to any liability under the deal. Tim Bernasek, attorney for the growers, said his clients are relieved the dispute settlement terms. “They are very appreciative of the sup- port the industry has given them,” Bernasek said. Capital Press was unable to reach DOL for comment. The Oregon Farm Bureau hopes the con- troversy will discourage the agency from using similar strong-arm tactics against other farmers in the future. “This is a demonstration there are checks and balances,” said Dave Dillon, OFB’s executive vice president. “If the department overreaches, there is recourse.” Trial begins for man accused SEATTLE (AP) — A prosecutor told jurors a man accused of killing a Seattle in 2009 was angry about what he saw as an increasing number of police-brutality cases.

House considers outlawing undercover farm videos OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — A bill by a farmer-legislator that would make it a criminal act to make audio or video recordings of a farm’s practices without the landowner’s written consent is being considered by the state House. The House Public Safety Committee on Tuesday morning heard from the bill’s author, Rep. Joe Schmick, R-Colfax, and a series of opponents from groups from animal-rights organizations to labor unions. free speech and the ability to investigate farming practices. The measure has three Republicans and one Democrat as co-sponsors. Schmick said it extends privacy protections to farmers similar to those that homeowners already enjoy.

COMMERCIAL PRINTING Production Director Jake Duquette Real Estate Advertising: Jodi Snook Oregon pot producers ramping up production PORTLAND (AP) — The number of large-scale marijuana farms in Oregon is up sharply, and the larg- est doesn’t even serve Ore- gonians. The site is in southern Oregon, at the Josephine County community Sel- ma. It produces medical marijuana for 104 Oregon medical marijuana patients. All live in California, and all but two live in Orange County, southeast of Los Angeles. Oregon law allows out of state residents to get state medical marijuana cards. The law also allows pa- tients to designate someone to grow marijuana for them if they don’t want to grow it themselves. The most recent data shows there are now 283 grow sites serving 11 or more patients, the Orego- nian reports, drawing on its analysis of state data. In the past two years, the number of large-scale grow sites has more than doubled. The 283 sites serving 11 or more patients is a 130 percent increase. The number of sites serving 20 or more is up 156 percent, to 23. The Oregon Health Au- thority keeps the grow site data It includes ZIP codes for every site producing for 11 or more patients and ZIP codes for the patients.
