Ore. agriculture now ranks with
timber as top
Oregon's agriculture is no
longer a weak sister to the
state's timber industry, says
an Extension specialist at
Oregon State University.
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 numbers of
persons employed, the state's
agriculture is roughly equal
with timber and in stability
and revenue generation agri
culture has surpassed tim
ber." Obermiller said that both
agriculture and timber each

These figures don't take into
account the large number of
seasonal jobs that agriculture
offers, he added.
Where stability is concern
ed, the economist pointed out
that over the last 20 years
Oregon agriculture has grown
about 2.5 percent per year in
both good times and bad.
while timber revenues have
droopped drastically over the
last two years as interest rates
have risen.
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.

That means every dollar of
sales in agricultural exports
generates an additional two
dollars in the state's economy.
"The multiplier for the
lumber and wood products
processing industry is be
tween 2 and 2.5. This means
that the indirect contibution of
agriculture to Oregon's econ
omy is substantially larger
than the indirect contribution
of timber.
"Since agriculture is more
stable than timber because
food demand remains fairly
constant, in any given year
you can depend on the export
revenue that agriculture gen
erates. Timber isn't as de
pendable because it is sub ject
to changes in the national
housing situation and the
national economy." Obermil
