State seeking commodity commissions applicants
Monday, April 27, 2009 | No comments posted.
SALEM (AP) - The Oregon Department of Agriculture is seeking applicants to serve on the 25 agricultural commodity commissions around the state.
The department says 11 open positions this year are for public members who cannot be directly associated with the production or handling of the particular commodity served by the commission.
Public members have included a banker, executive chefs, community college professors, a golf course manager, farm equipment salesmen and grocery store marketing executives.
Officials said public members spread the message about the benefits of Oregon commodities and help determine priorities for the commission.
They also may help with marketing by attending national trade shows or local fairs.
Most appointments are for a three-year term beginning July 1. The Oregon orchardgrass, potato, salmon, sheep, trawl and wheat commissions have four-year terms.
