The State Board of Agricul
ture has recommended that the
1969 legislative session make
no changes or amendments to
the Oregon farm tax law en
acted hv the 1907 legislature.
The board took this stand In
resolution adopted at Its De
cember 5-6 meeting at Pendle
ton. The resolution pointed out
that the action was taken be
cause of the relatively snort
time between enactment and
Implementation of the law. de
signed to adjust long recognized
Inequities In farmland taxation
bv bringing taxes more In line
with the earning capacity of
farmlands.
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.

the problems of quality of wheat
and the sprouting situation and
developing quality standards in
this area, and said on the bas

will be making tenders for
wheat from here with ship
ments probably made in January.
