Tourism and entertainment activities held on agricultural land provide an extra source of revenue for farmers, but can have impacts on neighbors and land uses in rural areas. In the lecture this week you saw how Oregon is dealing with agri-tainment activities. This is a cutting edge issue in agricultural law.

Remember that we have the basic agritourism rules as discussed in the lecture, plus a 2019 Oregon state law (SB 287) that allow new uses on agricultural lands, such as breweries, but makes it harder to hold some events.

• What advice would you give a farmer about starting an agri-tainment activity on her land? Does it depend on what she wants to do?
• Share a news article about a legal conflict involving agri-tainment or agri-tourism from Oregon or elsewhere. How are other counties or states handling the issue?
