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.

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. [Amended by 2003 c.604 §87; 2011 c.181 §7; 2013 c.93 §7]
