OFBF Says McCall
Wrong In Desiring
Field Burning Ban
The Oregon Farm Bureau federation today said that a state­
ment by Governor McCall asking for a tan on agricultural
field burning is inconsistent with Oregon’s economic interests
and efforts by the grass seed industry to control air pollution.
Over $30 million of new wealth is created by the grass
seed industry in Oregon, according to David Nelson, OFBF
executive secretary. This is a renewable resource that creates
an indirect benefit to the state’s economy of approximately
$200 million, said Nelson, quoting economists at Oregon State
university.

"As a regulated public util­

The bulk of the new capital
for this expansion must come
from investors, since customer
