OrCAN seeks funding partners to support our producer-centered network’s advocacy for renewal of the Farmer & Rancher Disaster Resilience (FRDR) grant program during the 2027 legislative session. OrCAN will demonstrate the need for FRDR renewal by sharing producers’ stories and perspectives on agricultural disaster across a range of activities, including constituent meetings, written communication with legislators, and testimony at hearings. Weather disasters such as heat domes, drought, floods, and wildfires are becoming more frequent and extreme as climate change accelerates. Oregon’s farmers and ranchers are on the frontlines of weather disasters, and they have expressed their need for disaster relief and resilience funding related to Soil Health.
