It was initially responsible for the old state of Oldenburg, later as the Weser-Ems Chamber of Agriculture for the district of Weser-Ems. After its temporary dissolution in 1934, the state farmers' association (Landbauernschaft) (see Erw 51) took its place until 1948. On 1 January 2006, the Weser-Ems Chamber of Agriculture was merged with the Hannover Chamber of Agriculture to form the Lower Saxony Chamber of Agriculture.
