Senator Bourne Proposes Dry Farming Homestead Reform
Senator Bourne introduces a bill replacing residence with crop production as the path to title in eastern Oregon. The plan envisions 20 million acres brought under dry farming, requiring annual proofs of crops worth 1500 dollars over five years, allowing residents to live in towns while farming land remotely. The measure aims to boost population and wealth while maintaining land productive and accessible to entrymen.
