But Campbell's operation
isn't what most would consider
a traditional family farm
Like most Willamette Valley
grass seed growers, Campbell
Owns less than half of the land

profitable to cultivate leased

Campbell said he grows al
most 1,400 acres in grass seed,
up from the -too to 500 acres he
started with 10 years ago
Small farmers are able to
grow large acreages in grass

Familv-operaled grass seed farms such as Mike Campbell's
could be put out of business if alternatives to the field burning
ban aren't found.
have increased 20 percent.
lohnson argues that because
of absentee ownership, ami the
relative ease of grass seed pro
duction, farmers tend to treat
the land like a grass factory,
looking for quick profits with
out regard to the land or their
neighbor's rights.
"They're not husbanding the
soil." he said. "They don't
want to take the time and mon
ey to take the long view.”
From the other side. Camp
bell insists he cares about the
environment. He said he
should have the right to grow
grass seed, and make a profit
like any other businessman.
And even with field burning,
he said he always has to strug
gle for profit Although his
seed brought in about $100,000
last year, he said his business is
burdened with debt.
Uncertain grass seed prices
and a field-burning ban could
destroy his operation. Camp
bell said.
Inis is the tirst year in many
that grass seed prices were high
enough for Campbell to make a
decent profit.
"These are as good a time as
anyone has seen in grass seed."
he said.
He lost $100,000 in the early
1980's because of depressed
prices, and he said it will take
three more years to pay off the
debt. He was forced to go to
work in a mill for a year, and
his wife has to work part-time
at a department store to help
the family make ends meet.
In spite of the uncertainties
in the grass seed industry.
Campbell said he wouldn't
want to do anything else.
"You just fall in love with
farming.” he said.
He contends that field burn
ing is the only way he can
make a profit. As proof, he said
he lost half his yield last year
from acres he wasn't able to
