The Agri-Business Council sponsors crop signs
|
Newly redesigned road crop and breed identification signs help travelers identify the crop that is growing or the breed that is being raised in fields that are along roadways. They are a great tool to help educate the public about agriculture and its importance to their daily lives.
Two types of signs are available:
- Road crop breed signs
- Large sign to display along major highways, freeways and roadways. Signs include an image of the crop or breed and easy-to-read lettering.
- Varietal signs
- Smaller sign to identify specific varieties of crops. Suitable for smaller backroads or when displaying multiple signs on one piece of land.
To view examples and obtain ordering information, visit the Agri-Business Council of Oregon Web site.
