We’re Crazy for Crop Signs!
June 19th, 2009 by Sunyi
Recently, we’ve been promoting our newest Washington County attraction, the ‘Vineyard & Valley Scenic Tour’, which is a driving tour that is part of the Oregon Scenic Byways Program. It’s about 50-miles in length and uncovers a lot of Washington County’s rural areas. There has been a lot of work involved in making this happen, I won’t bore you with the details here. But many community leaders, agencies and committee members have been involved in making this attraction possible not only for out of town visitors but for in town visitors as well. After all, this scenic beauty is in our backyard. We should go explore it. One of the pieces coming to fruition now is crop signs! No, we don’t mean of the extra-terrestrial kind, but the agricultural kind!
The WCVA stirred up such excitement over these crop signs it was quite unbelievable to someone like myself who is unfamiliar with the world of farming and agriculture. The Oregon Agri-Business Council shared in the cost for these crop signs, while WCVA covered the rest. The hope is to have up to 30 crop signs posted by end of 2009. Our local participating farmers couldn’t be happier! Look for them on the Tour Route! More info on Vineyard & Valley Scenic Tour.
