About

My name is Marie Bowers and this is my blog! I love to talk about farming,  politics and social media.

I was born and raised in the southern Willamette Valley on a grass seed farm. I am the 5th generation farming on our century farm. I am a proud Washington State University alum, Go Cougs! Currently, I am the president of Oregon Women for Agriculture and an AgChat Foundation board member.

I come from a tradition of AgVocates dating back to my great-grandmother who helped to found Oregon Women for Agriculture.   As a second grader my Dad took me to the Capitol to listen to field burning legislative hearings.   It is safe to say AgVocacy is more than just a passion, it is imbedded in our life. 

OregonGreen allows me to share my story, information and facts about today’s farms & forests. 

Here are some examples of what you’ll find on OregonGreen:

• Legacy of AgVocacy
  
• Women in “Big Ag”
• Grass Seed Harvest
• The Huntresses
• Eat What You Want & Don’t Insult My Family

You can also find me on twitter & Facebook!
