The Baker County Republican Central Committee is pleased to present an afternoon with Lara Logan and Trent Loos, two advocates of sustaining American agricultural traditions for future generations of farm and ranch families.

Discussions will delve into issues and solutions to enhance the economic viability of rural America to determine what we as unified individuals can replicate from the successes in other states and/or establish through self-funding or with government grant support.

There is much to cover, from water source retention to product market access through established outlets or through the development of new strategies.

Oregon has the capacity to create a vibrant economy from an agricultural perspective with proactive policies from our State legislative body. Up until now, agencies (both State and Federal) have enacted many rules and regulations detrimental to good business practices and the expansion of our natural resources in general. The reasoning and arguments for common-sense solutions have fallen on the government's deaf ears.

Therefore, let this event be the genesis to establish a unified effort in reestablishing citizen rights so individuals, rather than the government, will be able to determine their futures.
