Lack of growing season precipitation and the temperate climate in north central Oregon pose challenges to growing spring wheat crops. Phosphate and sulfate fertilization can improve early growth of spring wheat in this region and soil testing aids in determining rates of fertilization. In this study, anion exchange membranes (AEM)...
Cooperation across ownership boundaries is critical to most conservation efforts in mixed ownership landscapes. Where owner objectives vary widely, as at public-private landownership boundaries, cooperation can be especially challenging. This research explores the opportunities and challenges for cooperative fire management among public and private forest managers in the John Day...
Northeastern Oregon geology and climate provides moderately productive conditions for forest management and timber production. Although site preparation and planting are commonly used silvicultural practices, little research exists on the efficacy of specific forest herbicides and responses of seedling survival and growth in this region. This research seeks to improve...
The relative success of restoration practices on cheatgrass infested sagebrush steppe lands in the Great Basin can affect the probability of crossing an ecological threshold and have economic effects on cattle ranches using federal rangelands. Cheatgrass invasion implies an increase in the risk of fire, which in turn increases the...

The following pictorial article on the golden years of eastern Oregon, by Miles F. Potter and Harold McCall, is an abstract from their manuscript of a forthcoming book they are calling "Golden Pebbles."
Potter is a long-time resident of eastern Oregon and an amateur historian of some of the early...
This publication describes results of applied research on phosphorus fertilization of late-planted winter wheat in no-till fallow in the low-precipitation zone of Oregon and Washington.
The Central Oregon Agricultural Research Center (COARC) faculty and staff are pleased to present a summary of research activities conducted during 2007. The thirty reports in this publication focus on vegetable seed (6), grass seed (7), forages and cereals (4), potatoes and peppermint (3), potential new crops (7) and rangeland...
