      285A.420 Legislative findings. (1) The Legislative Assembly finds that the demand in Oregon for local food is surging, that the interest in farming among younger generations is on the rise and that access to capital is one of the most important factors contributing to the development and success of a local market agricultural sector in the Oregon economy.

      (2) The Legislative Assembly also finds that the establishment and implementation of a federal-state, public-private partnership program to assist beginning farmers is a cost-effective way for Oregon to support beginning farmers and the growth of the local market agricultural sector across this state and to stabilize the agricultural workforce. Such a program would represent no cost or risk to the state and would allow participating lenders to earn federally tax exempt interest income on loans to eligible beginning farmers. [2013 c.742 §1; 2015 c.165 §1]
