Oregon’s Senators are calling for more to be done by the federal government to help the agriculture community.
“We know that this is not just going to be suddenly, magically healed,” Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR) said. “That’s why investments in both how we plant, how we water, and how we deliver water to the fields all elements are going to be essential to continue to support our farmers.”
Earlier this month, Oregon Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley submitted a letter calling for federal agriculture officials to address long-term drought in the region.
