Is land clearing Agricultural Burning?
Agricultural Burning may include clearing land if an agricultural commodity will be planted or cattle raised, but it does not include burning debris for the construction of buldings. When can I Agricultural Burn? Only agricultural operations can perform Agricultural Burning. To find out if daily Agricultural Burning is allowed, call the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) at 503-986-4755. Can I use a burn barrel? Burn barrels are inefficient and polluting because they produce low temperature fires and produce toxic smoke. This toxic smoke stays at ground level where it is easily inhaled. It is better to burn in a loosely stacked pile for better air flow and combustion.
