Abstract
  • Oregon growers produced 77.4 million bushels of wheat in 1981 with an estimated total farm value of $290 million, making wheat the highest valued farm crop in the state. Wheat production in Oregon's Columbia Plateau is an equally important agricultural enterprise; in 1981, five counties in the Plateau accounted for 66 percent of all the wheat produced in Oregon. The primary 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 and winter wheat rotation grown under mold-board plow is detailed. 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. A secondary objective is to use these and other estimated cost data to analyze the economic feasibility of two important wheat production decisions: participation in the 1983 wheat program, and the use of chemical fallow.
