Sayenzi Kuseri kweCentral Oregon's Mbatatisi Kubudirira
Kubudirira kweindasitiri yembatatisi yeCentral Oregon kunogona kuve kwakakonzerwa nekubatanidzwa kwemamiriro ekunze akanaka uye maitiro ekurima. Dunhu rinobatsirwa kubva kune yakasarudzika mamiriro ekunze anoratidzwa nemazuva anodziya uye husiku hunotonhorera, iyo yakanakira kurima emhando yepamusoro mbatatisi.
