Oregon Makes Home Gardening Illegal!

[NorCal Ollie]

Home gardens are not a target. The target is small family farms that are under 2 acres that grow food for small farmers markets. Still absolute BS! They are making anyone that sells food for a profit (or no profit) pay for an expensive permit that will probably be denied anyway. This is the large commercial growers lobbying to put the small competition out of business.

I know a family that owns a large cattle ranch in Eastern Oregon. Their land covers many square miles and they have one well they have been irrigating with for over 75 years. I recall the state floating the idea of charging ranchers for the water they use. If this is all true, when it comes time to enforce these laws, people will die. I wonder if the state will be sending Swat Teams to Saturday Markets?
