Abstract
  • Oregon growers produced 50.6 million bushels of wheat in 1988 with an estimated farm value of about $193 million, making wheat among the highest valued farm crops in the state. Wheat production is a particularly important agricultural enterprise in Oregon's Columbia Plateau. In 1988, five counties in the Columbia Plateau accounted for $112 million of wheat sales from 540,550 harvested acres. The purpose of this study is to present estimated costs of producing and marketing wheat in the Columbia Plateau counties of Gilliam, Morrow, Sherman, Umatilla, and Wasco. Cost information for a summer fallow - winter wheat rotation is detailed for a mold-board plow tillage system. Growers, agricultural lenders, and others concerned with the wheat industry will find this information useful in estimating the physical and financial requirements of producing dryland wheat in the area.
