Beer brewer funds hops research
PROSSER, Wash (AP) — A new research tenter,
largely funded bv Anheuser-Busch Inc., will help
ensure that U S brewers have a stable supply of
hops. Washington State University officials said
Wednesday
The world's largest brewer. St Louis-bonod mak
er of Budweiser and other brands, contributed
$700,000 of the $1 million coat of the Hop Research
Facility.
"You can't brew a Fine beer if you start with low
quality-grade raw materials." said Malvern Ander
son. vice president of Busch Agricultural Resources.
Washington’s Yakima Valley produces about 77
percent of the nation's hops, with Oregon and Ida
ho providing most of the rest. Yakima and Benton
counties, with 28.000 acres, trail only Germany
in the production of hops worldwide.
The cone-shaped hops are dried and combined
with barley and water to make beer
The 8,890-square-foot hops fac ility, at WSU's Irri
gated Agriculture Research and Extension center
here, will be used primarily to find alternatives to
the chemicals used to protect hops from disease
and insec ts
New federal regulations are muking it more
expensive for chemical companies to prove their
products are safe and win "re-registration." As a
result, many companies are abandoning such pro
duct- n and farmers are scrambling to find new
tools.
One option is integrated pest management pro
grams that seek genetic answers to pest and disease
problems.
"If growers could no longer profitably produce
hops and turned to another crop. Anheuser-Busch
and all the other breweries would be in trouble."
said Wyatt Cone, a WSU entomologist who intro
duced the speakers. "Beer would become pretty
expensive."
Hops growers in the three Northwest states sup
ply Anheuser-Busch with about 45 percent of its
annual needs
Anderson said WSU is one of the lending research
centers on plant genetics, plant pathology and ento
mology. Ilie brewery also made smaller grants total
ing $300,000 to Oregon State University and the
University of Idaho for hops research.
The new center will be named for Lin Faulkn
er. who headed the Prosser research station from
1076 to 1990.
Hops were first grown in the United States in New
York in 1805.
Disease and pest problems kept pushing the
industry west, and bv 1900 California became the
nation's hops-production leader. Oregon became
the center of hops production in 1920, but mildew
problems pushed the industry into the arid Yaki
ma Valley by the 1940s. where it has remained.

The School of Journalism and Communication proudly announces
Communication Studies
a new undergraduate program of study
at the University of Oregon
accepting students for Fall 1993
Beginning in the Fall of 1993, Communication Studies will open as a
new sequence in the School of Journalism and Communication.
The Communication Studies sequence focuses on the
understanding and appreciation of communication and communication
technologies, historically and in their contemporary forms, as key social
processes involved in the production and maintenance of societies and
international relations. It provides the critical background and necessary
analytic skills for making sense of the proliferation of communication
products and systems as the industrialized world moves into the
information age.
