Jeff Stone, OAN Executive Director, took one for the team — over and over again! 💦

OAN members (and their kids!) showed up in full force at the Farwest Show to send Jeff into the dunk tank, all for a great cause: supporting scholarships through the Oregon Nurseries Foundation.

Thanks to everyone who donated, took a shot and helped make a splash for the next generation of the nursery industry!

♻️ Join us Thursday, August 27, at 1:30 p.m. in Room A107 for an important discussion on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws for packaging and plastics.

State EPR laws are rapidly expanding across the United States and will increasingly affect agricultural sectors that rely heavily on plastic packaging and shipping materials — including nursery and greenhouse operations. These laws shift responsibility for managing packaging waste from municipalities and taxpayers to the companies that produce or introduce packaging into the marketplace.

Several states — including Oregon, California, Colorado, Maine, Minnesota, Maryland, and Washington — have already adopted EPR frameworks, with Oregon among the first to implement reporting and fee obligations.

🌿 Free for all registered Farwest attendees.
