Many, many thanks are hereby heaped upon "neighbors Carr and Jeanne Biggerstaff, and The Friends of Yamhill County" for their perseverance and dedication to protect our priceless and irreplaceable farmlands from development.

The Yamhill County Planning Department and Yamhill County Commissioners are the true villains here.

We all must be vigilant to protect Oregon's priceless and irreplaceable farmlands from Development.

The Appellate Division and the wise jurist's judgment in the aforementioned case, did a "fine job" in "slapping down" another Measure 37 development attempt.

The protection of "farm land" from residential development in this case, reduces "global warming" by reducing the "carbon footprint" the accursed residential housing project would have wrought upon Mother Nature.

I just love in how progressives want to invite the masses of illegals into Oregon but then on. The other hand they don’t want trees cut they don’t want us using concrete they don’t want to improve the roadways they basically don’t want to accommodate the very influx of people they want to come in! So we end up with outrageously overpriced housing costs and massive homelessness. This same NIMBY elitist attitude pervades California where these types came in from.

Great victory for sure 👍

Preserving farm and forest land (even in Yamhill County) makes sense and has zero to do with "affordable housing" IMO and I'm definitely not a progressive

Stella , I’m a multigenerational Oregonian. I really don’t want to see overpopulated state and Willamette Valley paved over from Eugene - Portland but it’s happening despite land use laws. Portland is an enormous metropolis that didn’t exist 30 years ago. The trails are all congested , “the outdoors” are feeling like the whole state is now just a public park. We are getting our overpopulation and not doing much to accommodate it.
