OSU Report Examines
Agriculture In 1980
What will agriculture in Ore
gon be like in 1980?
•‘There will likely be fewer
farmers, each receiving a lar

bert O. Coppedge, research as
sociate in agricultural eco
nomics at Oregon State Uni
versity.
For a look ahead, the agri
cultural economist used pro
jections based on agricultural
production through 1969. Ore
gon ranks first in the nation in
producing snap beans, ryegrass
seed and sweet cherries and se
cond in pears and strawberries.
“Rural economics will have
fewer people on which the bur
den of supporting community
services will fall in 1980,” said
Coppedge.
“There will be relatively fe

Bankers,
finance agencies, retail mer
chants and machinery dealers
will have to consider increased
farm requirements as well as
increased receipts and fewer
farms, farmers and people.”
Fruits, nuts and berries will
be the leading crop with grains
and vegetables second and third.
“Receipts from the sale of
cattle and calves will continue to
dominate the livestock sector,
accounting for more than half
the receipts,” Coppedge said.
“The future of Oregon’s agri
culture lies in its diversity and
prominence in national and
world commodity markets.”

at the site immediately, but the
biological oxygen demand test
requires five days. Weekly
samplings will be made through
the summer months.
The ultimate goal of the pro
ject, aside from the hoped for
writing of a paper stating con
clusions, is to measure the fluc
tuation levels of the pollution
of the water which flows from
the upper embankment source
to Wilson Drain, Indian Creek,
the Boise River and then to the
Snake River.
A budget of $500 has been
assigned the project for the pur
chase of measuring apparatus
and aerial photographs to de
termine which fields affect and
are affected by the irrigation
water. The cooperation of
growers will be sought to learn
about farming practices -- what
and how much fertilizers and
insecticides are used, schedules
for application, and other matter
of importance to water quality.
This project is typical of the
kinds of research assisted by
the Regional Studies Center
at the College of Idaho, whose
main purpose is to encourage
environmental studies within the
Snake River region. “We must
have much more knowledge if
we are to adequately plan for
the future, and meet the eco
logical crisis,” says Mrs. Par
sons. “A study such as this is
a small step towards solution
of environmental problems, and
away from continuing degrada
tion of our surroundings.”
