Terry Tallman
Judge Tallman expects
more change and challenges to
come to M orrow County
government. The State of
Oregon is placing greater
emphasis on job creation and
economic development. Many
of the services of the state are
delivered at the county level
and the expectation will be for
the counties to assume more
o f those responsibilities.
“Morrow County revenues
are leveling off and Oregon, as
we all know , has seen
declining revenue numbers.
The challenge will be to plan
for projects which are slated
to come to Morrow County
and communicate with Oregon
what our needs are and asking
and getting the State to fulfill
their responsibilities. We have
many pluses in M orrow
County: hard working people,
the Port of Morrow, great
location and space to grow.
We need to be a catalyst to
get the best possible outcomes
for Morrow County,” stated
Judge Tallman.
Judge Tallman has
been self employed in a family
farming operation since 1974.
He moved portion of farming
operations from M alheur
County to Morrow County in
March 1978.
H is o c cu p a tio n a l
background includes four
years o f service in the US
Navy from April 1967 to April
1971, with an honorable
discharge. He performed day-
to-day maintenance on the F4J
weapons system during the
Viet Nam War. In 1973, he
form ed a fam ily farm
p a rtn e rsh ip w ith K eith
Tallman, Timmy Tallman and
Terry Tallman as general
partners. He has irrigated
crops of potatoes, sugar beets,
wheat, com, alfalfa, melons
and various vegetable seeds
were the major cultivars of
their operation. He has also
harvested potatoes for other
farmers throughout Malheur
and Morrow County.
