..A blog about trying to save our prime Willamette Valley farmland from being lost forever..We here on our 4000 acre Island in the Willamette River are fighting to stop a 3rd gravel company from operating a pit on 174 acres..There are families that have lived here and farmed this Island for generations..We are stewards of the land and are united and determined to save it..

....Questions for the County.??.
..This is the Yamhill County Tax Lot Map. You can see how large lot 5326-600 is. I live on tax lot #5326-700, so you can see why I oppose this zone change from Goal 3 farm use to Goal 5 mineral use. Also note the boundary lines for the tax lots. Do you see the lot next to #5326-600, the one without any lot #.? Do you also notice that this land is being farmed.? Being rented out by Baker Rock to a farmer, with no tax-lot, does this mean that Baker Rock is paying taxes on 174 acres but renting out more.? I don't know, maybe you should ask the County.? I got these photo's from Yamhill County's Planning Dept.'s web site.
