About the Commissions

Oregon's 23 grower-supported commodity commissions provide important links to production agriculture and direct access to key Oregon agricultural opinion leaders and decision makers. ​

Serving on an Oregon Commodity Commission

Oregon Department of Agriculture Director Alexis Taylor has the responsibility of appointing commissioners. She appointed 61 commissioners to terms that began July 1, 2018.

The director’s decision to appoint is based on a number of factors including:

• Applicant experience
• Commitment to service 
• Industry counsel​

Nearly 200 farmers, ranchers, food processors and packers, commercial fish harvesters, and public members volunteer to serve on Oregon’s commodity commissions. Their service to Oregon agriculture determines the programs that each commission funds with assessments paid by farmers, ranchers, and fish harvesters. Funds are used for non-branded promotion, research, and education.

Several commissioner positions remain open

Open positions are designated by “APPLY NOW” 

If you would like to apply to serve, the minimum qualifications are:
