Study seeks high
voltage effects on
plants and animals
One hundred cows, all with calves,
graze placidly near Grizzly
Mountain, their four corrals separ
ated by plots where alfalfa and
wheat will grow Two spans of a
high voltage, direct current <500
direct current . 500-kilovolt i Bonne
v ille Power Administration line, the
most powerful commercial line in
the Cnited States stretch above
them
The animals and plants are keys to
a high voltage direct current agn
cultural study The $1 43 million
project was planned and is being
carru-d out by Oregon Mate Dniver
sity scientists w ith the help of HPA
We want to determine the poten
tial effects of the Still KV trans
mission line on production and
reproduction of cattle, said Roller!
J Raleigh, OSD animal scientist
who heads the project sponsored of
MPA and eight other power systems
"The primary objective of the plant
study is to determine if the line
affects plant growth, health and
reporductivity
One hundred other cow s and their
calves are in four identical corrals
about a quarter mile away from the
BPA lines which send power from
Bonneville Dam to the Los Angeles
area I'naffected by the power lines,
their measurements w ill be the basis
to measure effects of the power lines
on the other set of rattle
"No harmful effects from the lines
are expected based on operating
experience with direct current lines
and results of biological research
with direct current fields and air
tons said Raleigh "The project
was needed because research
directly applicable to such power
lines is limited
The 320 acre project area is on the
Crooked River National (irassland,
which is administered by the Ochoco
National Forest The site is 12 miles
southeast of Madras two miles east
of Highway 26 and about 2o miles
north of Prtneville
"The study is the first and biggest
agricultural study under DC power
lines," said Raleigh, who also
directs the animal research "There
have been several studies with
alternating power lines which
show ed no effect on livestock or
crops ’
The range cattle wear coded ear
tags for visual identification Their
location in the corrals is recorded
twice a week to see if there has been
any behavioral changes
"And. once a month, for a 24 hour
period we record behavior in the
corrals every 15 minutes." said
Raleigh Noise, electric activity,
ion activity all are measured We
also have a night viewing device to
observe ion activity near the wires ."
Other cattle measurements will
help determine conception rate,
calving interval, calving ease, per
centage calves born, percent -alves
weaned and weaning weight, said
Raleigh who does research at OSD's
Kastern Oregon Agricultural
Research Center at Burns and form
erly was superintendent of the
center
Each fall, the calves will be sold
and the cows will be bred again,
giving three years of reproduction
information
Fred Crowe superintendent of
USD's Central Oregon Agricultural
Experiment Station at Redmond, u
in charge of the plant study He is
planting wheat and alfalfa in plols
between the corrals under the power
lines and between the corrals in the
control section and will have two
years of plant data
BPA is conducting an electric
study at the site, monitoring electric
charge and ton behavior

and his wife, Sallie. live on the site

are members ol the project team
