The resolution further noted that the short time resulted in problems of dissemination of in formation and establishment of uniform procedures by assess ors of several counties. In taking its stand, the board suggested the Oregon State Tax Commission make every effort to assure that farmland own ers were instructed on require ments of the law and made aware of their rights and re sponsibilities under the law. It was also proposed that the tax commission assume the respon sibility of assuring that all county assessors adopt and use uniform appraisal methods and procedures so the provisions of the law will apply equitably in each of the several counties. Recommendations made by the board were the outgrowth of a discussion and hearing at its June meeting in Salem and the evaluation of material pre sented at this meeting by in dividual board members. After formulating its policy on the approach to solving the farmers tax problems the board I discussed other problems taced by farmers and opportunities for expanding markets.
