A wildfire is scorching a portion of rural Oregon, and there will likely be impacts to agriculture.
The Cram Fire is burning about a hundred miles southeast of Portland. So far, it has scorched nearly 100,000 acres, destroying homes and some barns.
This central region of Oregon is known for beef, hay, blueberry, wheat, and potato production.
Officials do say the fire is now more than 70% contained.
According to the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center, 30 large fires have already burned more than 100 square miles across Oregon and Washington this season.
