	Kim McLaury: Where will we get our produce without farms? Kim McLaury and her husband are raising their four kids in a typical suburban Hillsboro home, miles away from any farms, forests or Measure 37 claims.

Bob Valladao: Agriculture can't afford to give up water Bob Valladao runs cattle on 1,000 acres in Klamath County. But Measure 37 is threatening to put an end to that way of life.

	Peter Morgan: Measure 49 makes Measure 37 work Peter Morgan's just the kind of "little guy" Measure 37 was supposed to help. But it didn't turn out that way, and now Peter's pinning his hopes on Ballot Measure 49. "Measure 49 is a compromise that gives me what I need.

	Elizabeth Graser Lindsey: Measure 37 is unsafe at any speed Elizabeth Graser Lindsey lives in rural Clackamas County. The main county road near her home was designed years ago for farm traffic. With its narrow, winding curves, it can barely serve the present community. In fact, it already has four times as many accidents each year as other similar roads elsewhere in the state.		Fred Robinson: Four hundred one-acre home sites? The rural area where Fred lives consists mostly of orchards and fields where grass is grown for seed. The narrow roads attract many cyclists for the scenery and the lack of traffic. One Measure 37 claim could change all of that. One of Fred's neighbors has filed to turn 400 acres into 400 one-acre home sites.
	Myron Redford: Protect the rural lifestyle Myron Redford has several dogs in the Measure 37 fight.

	Chris Feves: Measure 49 restores respect for property rights of neighbors Chris Feves and her husband Michael live near Sherwood and Wilsonville.

Bruce worries about sprawl and increased traffic from all the Measure 37 claims in Clackamas County - and supports Measure 49 as a helpful compromise...
	Dari Jongsma: Measure 37 is bad for farms, bad for business Dari Jongsma founded and runs a business that recycles agricultural plastics in Brooks. She voted for Measure 37 because she felt restrictive land use laws were strangling some farmers. But she has become distressed as she sees the escalating development under Measure 37.		David Pollack: Land use fairness for all Oregonians. The Pollacks filed a Measure 37 claim to create one additional lot for a single-family home for their daughter.

	Jean Opheim: Why ruin farmland? Jean Opheim traces her roots in Oregon back more than a century, to the days when her great grandparents traversed the Oregon Trail to stake their claim in the Pacific Northwest. Now, she says, thanks to Measure 37, the beautiful countryside she's called home for four decades is in danger of becoming a suburban tract home nightmare.		Sydney Blaine: Farmland can't be replaced once cement is poured. Sydney Blaine and her husband farm in Hood River & Wasco counties. They have apples, pears, cherries, some cattle and some sheep.

	Bruce Chapin: Agriculture needs Measure 49, pure and simple Bruce Chapin knows well what Oregon's agricultural industry needs and doesn't need.

The Van Nattas and their neighbors are worried about what proposed development under Measure 37...		Dick Day: A couple of homes, not a 112-house subdivision. Dick voted for Measure 37 in 2004. In fact, he filed a Measure 37 claim to build a couple of houses, maybe for his kids or perhaps to help with retirement. But Measure 37 has become a wolf in sheep's clothing, he says. Almost as soon as it passed, one of Dick's neighbors filed for a 112-house subdivision.
	Stephen Williams: Measure 37 was not meant for gravel pits Stephen Williams lives on 30 acres near tiny Williams, Oregon - 12 miles south of Grants Pass.

	David Papworth: Uncertain future as subdivisions proposals surround farms Part of what compelled David and Anne Papworth to get into the business of farming here was the way the state protected agricultural lands.
