Chapter 578 - Oregon Wheat Commission
Section 578.020 - Legislative findings; purpose of chapter.
(1) The Legislative Assembly finds and declares that:
(a) It is in the interest of all the people that the abundant natural resources of Oregon be protected, fully developed and uniformly distributed.
(b) The growing of grain is an agricultural industry that contributes to the economic welfare of Oregon.
(c) Because a surplus of grain is grown in this state and, during recurrent years, that surplus has been in excess of all available markets, it is necessary that additional markets for grain be found in order to provide profitable enterprises for producers and to provide employment for labor and industry dependent upon grain.
(2) The purpose of this chapter is to promote the public health and welfare by providing means for the protection and stabilization of industry for grain produced in this state.
