Approval of Arctic
drilling comes just
before Obama’s visit
By KEVIN FREKING
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
Obama administration’s ap-
proval of drilling for oil in
the Arctic Ocean clashes
with the message President
Barack Obama will deliv-
er when he visits Alaska to
emphasize the dangers of
climate change, some envi-
ronmental groups say.
As much as the groups
praise Obama for his overall
body of work — from strict-
er fuel-efficiency standards
to regulations aimed at re-
ducing greenhouse gas emis-
sions from power plants —
they consider the approval
of exploratory drilling in the
Arctic a stain on his environ-
mental legacy that will send
a mixed message to other
countries about the serious-
ness of confronting global
warming.
The burning of fossil fu-
els causes more greenhouse
gases to build up in the at-
mosphere. Some groups
would prefer leaving the oil
in the ground and not tempt-
ing the harsh environmental
conditions that could hinder
the response to any potential
spill.
“It sends a terrible signal
to the rest of the world for
the United States to be using
public resources to promote
that development,” said Niel
Lawrence of the Natural Re-
sources Defense Council.
“We have to make clear to
the rest of the world that we
are all in on a clean energy
future. And we’ve got to stop
giving the rest of the world
license to go exploring by
permitting Shell to do it.”
Cattle industry tops
state’s ag production list
Oregon’s top 10 ag commodities, 2014 *
By ZANE SPARLING

SALEM — In a re-
cord-breaking year, cat-
tle and calves became
the most valuable agri-
cultural commodity in
Oregon, ending a 20-
year reign in the top
spot by greenhouse and
nursery products.
The production value
of beef jumped to $922
million in 2014 from
$669 million in 2013,
a 38 percent increase,
according to the USDA
National
Agricultural
Statistics Service.
The value of Oregon
nursery products was up
11 percent, from $754
million in 2013 to $830
million last year.
Cattle last ranked No.
1 in Oregon in 1994.
“In agriculture things
go up and down, but beef
producers have seen
good returns this year,”
Oregon Beef Council
executive director Will
Wise said.
Wise said many fac-

nial generation’s fasci-

*Preliminary
nation with the “paleo”
diet to improved mar-
ket access abroad —
helped spur the increase.
Thanks to a lobbying
effort funded in part by
the Beef Council, Japan
dropped an onerous reg-
ulation in 2013 prohib-
iting the import of cat-
tle slaughtered after 20
months of age.
According to the U.S.
Meat Export Federation,
beef exports now add
$350 of value per head
to cattle. That statistic
was pegged at just $109
per animal in 2009.
This year’s NASS
Alan Kenaga/Capital Press
statistics contained oth-
er surprises, too. Wine
grapes, valued at $118
million in 2014, joined
the top 10 list, passing
onions.
Onions,
Christmas
trees and blueberries
all topped $100 million
in production value, but
didn’t make the top 10.
There are now 34,600
farms in Oregon, a slight
dip, with an average size
of 474 acres.
On the top 10 list,
only wheat and pota-
toes decreased in value.
Wheat’s value dropped
18 percent, from $368
million to $302 million
in 2014. Potatoes lost
about $6 million in val-
ue, from $170 million
in 2013 to $164 million
last year.
Kathryn Walker, a
special assistant to the
ODA director, said in
a press release that Or-
egon’s severe drought
could negatively affect
the value of agricultural
commodities this year.
However, she cau-
tioned that it was still
too soon to say.
“We are going to
have to watch to see
how the weather im-
pacts our producers and
the yields of their com-
modities,” Walker said.
“But our agriculture in-
dustry is resilient. They
have faced these kinds
of challenges before
and typically bounce
back.”
All told, Oregon’s
farmers and ranchers
added $5.4 billion to the
state economy. Oregon
farmers produce 17 com-
modities each valued at
$50 million or more, and
220 crops overall.
