Abstract:
Central Oregon is the primary U.S. hybrid carrot seed production area, supplying seed to the domestic fresh market carrot industry. Approximately 85 percent of the hybrid carrot seed planted in the United States is grown
in Jefferson and adjoining counties. The Madras and Culver areas support most of the carrot seed production. The production area is situated at an elevation of 2,000 to 2,500 feet on the east side of the Cascade Mountain
Range.
