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.
