Frederickson Farms receives
conservation farm of year award
Frederickson Farms of Board-
man, was named 1994 conser
vation farm of the year by the
Oregon Wheat Growers
League.
The Fredericksons were
chosen from the ranks of coun
ty conservation farmers of the
year. These included Kent and
Shannon Madison, Umatilla
county; Russ and Patty
Bingaman, Union County and
Ken and Maxine Teramura,
Malheur County.
The three-generation Fred
erickson operation includes
Clarence and Virginia Fre-
derickson's sons, Gary and
Vernon; Gary's wife, Casey
and their two sons, and Ver
nons' wife Suzanne and their
son.
The major conservation pro
blem is wind erosion, which
they combat with residue
management, water manage
ment, cover crops and
minimum tillage. They produce
alfalfa, wheat, corn, potatoes,
green peas, lima beans and
onions.
The Fredericksons operate
two separate farms.
Frederickson Farms has leas
ed 745 acres of cropland from
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Ser
vice since 1969. Portview Ran-
ches, a partnership with Vern-
non and Gary, has leased 1600
acres from the Port of Morrow
since 1985.
The Frederickson brothers
grew up on Butter Creek and
are well acquainted with the
problems of farming light san
dy soils.
A portion of the crops raised
on the federal leased ground is
left for wildlife. Five irrigated
circles are in production.
Portview Farms utilizes ef
fluent from nearby potato pro
cessing plants.
Doug Drake, Morrow Coun
ty Wheat League president said
the Fredericksons were chosen
for the county award “ for their
perseverance and ingenuity in
managing highly erosive soils,
their ability to deal positively
with environmental restric
tions, their involvement with
several agencies, and their suc
cess at improving soil produc
tivity and tilth."
Suzanne Frederickson says
she is especially pleased by the
conservation honor because her
first contact with the land was
as a Youth Conservation Corps
supervisor about 15 years ago,
when she helped rehabilitate
wildlife habitat on the acreage.
