Oregon Agricultural Trust

Oregon Agricultural Trust is a non-profit organization based in Salem, Oregon. The organization employs 9 people and generates $2.5 million in annual revenue. OAT focuses on safeguarding agricultural land and the rural communities that rely on it. They achieve this by working with landowners to permanently protect farmland through donation and purchase of working land easements. These easements remove development rights that could hinder farming and ranching activities. In addition to land preservation, OAT provides education to farmers, ranchers, attorneys, and the general public about the importance of farmland preservation and succession planning. They also collaborate with other organizations to promote agricultural land preservation across Oregon.
