This thesis examines how two grass seed industries
respond to changes in the production environment. Two sets
of factors are necessary to understand what adjustments

This report provides an empirical analysis of the demand for and
supply of eight major cool season grasses grown for seed in the United
States at farm and wholesale market levels. Special emphasis is placed
on the Willamette Valley of Oregon which produced more than 70 percent
of total U.S....
This research examines whether alternative methods of export commodity promotion and market development, such as technical training and trade servicing activities, have been successful in increasing the demand for grass seed produced in Oregon in international markets. A single equation linear input demand model and a linear model adjusted to...
