Objectives of this investigation were two-fold: (l) to determine
crested wheatgrass production on selected range sites and (2)
to evaluate present and potential production on public and private
lands in the study area. Field studies were carried out in 1953 and
1964 near Jordan Valley, Malheur County, Oregon, on the...
The shallow aquifer in Northeast Malheur County, Oregon is polluted with Nitrates at concentrations exceeding federal drinking water standards.
