🌱 Roger Mills County Makes a Big Impact! 🌱

We’re proud to share the success of our recent Pesticide Disposal Event, hosted in partnership with ODAFF and OSU Pesticide Safety Education Program!

Thanks to the participation of local producers and community members, we safely collected an incredible 35,699 pounds of unwanted pesticides.

This effort helps keep our farms, families, and environment safe by ensuring these materials are disposed of properly. It’s a great example of what we can accomplish when we work together for the good of our community!

A big thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this event a success. We couldn’t have done it without you!
