Abstract
  • This report is intended to increase the understanding of interrelationships in a small farming community. It consists of three main sections. First, it begins with an historical review of agriculture in the Willamette Valley, Oregon. Since every agricultural region has unique components it is important to begin any modeling process with an understanding of the subject at hand. The historical review provides readers and modelers with a general understanding of the unique components of the agricultural infrastructure in the region. Section two of the report uses a survey of agricultural producers in Polk County, Oregon in order to elucidate the degree of dependence between neighboring farms. Lastly, section three contains a dynamic simulation model of agricultural land conversion in Polk County, Oregon.
