Most farmers’ markets lack information to make effective
changes and improvements. We have designed three
simple, low-cost methods to address the information gaps.
The first two—attendance counts and dot surveys—are
quantitative and can be used independently by markets.
The third method is the more complete Rapid Market
Assessment (RMA), which...
An estuary, unlike the open ocean, is a dynamic system that is continuously undergoing changes in its physical and chemical properties. Marked fluctuations in the levels and kinds of nutrients, temperature, and salinity are normally found in estuarine environments. These changes occur principally as a result of freshwater intrusions, tidal...
The occurrence of frozen soil has a major effect on runoff and soil loss
in the Pacific Northwest. Hence, information regarding the probabilities of
occurrence of periods during which the soil may be frozen is necessary in order
to adequately forecast long-term erosion rates for this region. In order to...
When precipitation falls on frozen soil, serious soil loss can
occur. In order to assign realistic probabilities to the occurrence of
this condition for use in predicting erosion rates over long time
periods, a technique for combining characteristics of precipitation and
air temperature records is applied to more than 31...
When precipitation falls on frozen soil, serious soil loss can
occur. In order to assign realistic probabilities to the occurrence of
this condition for use in predicting erosion rates over long time

The occurrence of frozen soil has a major effect on runoff and soil loss in western Oregon. Hence, information regarding the probabilities of occurrence of periods during which the soil may be frozen is necessary in order to adequately forecast long-term erosion rates for this region. In order to assign...
A variety of studies were conducted by some 13 states and agencies to
attempt to validate or develop parameters for using chromic oxide to determine
intake and digestibility of the grazing ruminant animal.
Recovery trials were conducted under a variety of experimental conditions,
ranging from confinement to grazing trials under...
Time was the most significant factor influencing brush and grass change inside and outside cattle exclosures over a 37-year period (1937-1974).
The 10 exclosures (2 ha) represent the big and low sagebrush (A. tridentata and A. arbuscula) Qunchgrass vegetation of eastern Oregon and were established on the Squaw Butte Experiment...
