Winter Squash: Production and Storage of a Late Winter Local Food

Creator:: Wetzel, Jennifer D.
Abstract:: Winter squash is an important late winter vegetable crop for local and regional markets; however, farmers in western Oregon report that this crop is marginally profitable due to losses in storage and relatively low yields for the high culinary value kabocha and buttercup types. In order to increase the sales...

Farmer perspectives on the transition to organic agriculture : an Oregon study of farmer motivations and barriers

Creator:: Lloyd, Deanna M.
Abstract:: In the midst of double-digit growth in market demand for organic products, there is a lag in the growth of certified organic production in the United States. This thesis investigated the motivations and barriers farmers face when making the transition to organic agriculture. Three distinct organic farmer typologies were identified:...

Weed, water, and nutrient management practices for organic blackberry during establishment

Creator:: Harkins, Renee H.
Abstract:: The study was conducted in an organic trailing blackberry (Rubus L. subgenus Rubus, Watson) planting established at the North Willamette Research and Extension Center in Aurora, OR on 26 May 2010. Three weed management systems were compared for 'Marion' and 'Black Diamond': 1) non-weeded; 2) hand-hoed two to three times...

A farm-level economic analysis of water-conserving irrigation systems and commercial agricultural water transfers to instream flows in central Oregon

Creator:: Turner, Brenda
Abstract:: The middle Deschutes River between Bend, Oregon and Lake Billy Chinook typically experiences critically low flows during the irrigation season. Commercial agriculture in the North Unit Irrigation District and Central Oregon Irrigation District is one major user of Deschutes River water. The overall objective of this research was to estimate...

Weed Management, Training, and Irrigation Practices for Organic Production of Trailing Blackberry : Plant Growth, Yield, and Nutrients

Creator:: Dixon, Emily K.
Abstract:: There is limited information available on production of trailing blackberry, particularly certified organic plantings, which are of interest to growers as there is increased consumer demand and a price premium over conventionally-produced fruit. Various production strategies were evaluated for their effect on yield, biomass production, carbon (C), and nutrient concentrations...

Response of field corn to irrigation, plant population, and nitrogen on soils of the Willamette catena

Creator:: Andersen, Jimmie Lee
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to make a preliminary investigation of the productivity of some of the soils within the Willamette catena under different systems of soil management. The study was carried out at four experimental sites near Corvallis, Oregon, during the 1962 growing season. The soil at each...

Right as rain? The value of water in Willamette Valley agriculture

Creator:: Kalinin, Alexey V.
Abstract:: Signs of climate change across the Pacific Northwest indicate changing patterns of timing and availability of stream flow. Declining summer low flows, decreasing snow pack, higher temperatures and an increasing fraction of mountain precipitation falling as rain, raise concerns about future reliability of stream flows. These changes will likely affect...

Farm and community-level impacts of irrigation water supply reductions : a case study of Malheur County, Oregon

Creator:: Wyse, Barbara J.
Abstract:: Agricultural water supplies are becoming increasingly uncertain in the western United States due to rising demand from competing water users, environmental restrictions on surface water withdrawals due to water quality and endangered species concerns, and, potentially, climate-induced hydrological changes. Since many rural areas in the West depend economically upon irrigated...
