DOL drops ‘hot goods’
charges against growers
The U.S. Department of Labor will
return money previously paid by Ore-
gon blueberry growers and drop lawsuits
accusing them of “hot goods” labor law
violations.
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

House considers outlawing

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

author, Rep. Joe Schmick, R-Colfax, and
a series of opponents from groups from
animal-rights organizations to labor unions.

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.
Laws similar to the proposal, called
“ag-gag” by their opponents, have passed in
several states and are the subject of pending
lawsuits in Utah and Idaho.

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

every site producing for 11
or more patients and ZIP

Among them is the state’s

The impending legaliza-
