For as long as any Oregon ian can probably remember, timber has been Oregon's top industry. But currently, agri culture is equal to or surpas ses timber in several cate gories, said a news release from OSU. "Whether timber or agricul ture is Oregon's number one industry depends on what is measured." said Frederick Obermiller. OSU Extension economist.

In the category of revenue generating ability, Obermiller cites the multiplier effect. "Every dollar that's export ed means a new dollar into the state, and that dollar turns over and generates additional income and jobs." Obermiller explained. "We call this the multiplier effect.
