1981 Oregon county and state agricultural estimates
No full textThe following pages contain estimates of agricultural production and value of farm and ranch sales for 1981. These are preliminary or first estimates and will be revised and updated as additional information is received. The estimates are made by Oregon State University Extension Service personnel. County Extension agents develop estimates of acreages, yields, prices, numbers of cattle, sheep, hogs, and poultry. After all the county reports are completed, state totals are tabulated by Oregon State University Extension economists. This summary report provides a quick overview of Oregon agriculture for this past year. Oregon agricultural production information is requested by individuals, companies and agencies such as farmers and farm organizations, legislators, state and federal agencies, fertilizer and chemical companies, machinery companies, university specialists and administrators, students, consulting companies, news media, and other agribusiness firms.Published January 1982.

Oregon State University Extension Service long range planning report : Clackamas County : 1969
No full textThis report is the result of a planned, organized effort to give the people of Clackamas County an opportunity to communicate about their concerns and their problems.
The procedure has been followed by the Extension Service of Oregon State University for many decades. Periodically, it is repeated as conditions change, as new knowledge is developed, as the needs and desires of the people change.
Early in 1967, with guidance and advice of a county Extension advisory council, the county Extension staff began planning the organization of a thorough study of conditions, of trends, and of needed changes in the county as expressed by the people. Through mass media and many invitations, all interested persons were invited to participate. In this report will be found the conclusions and the recommendations of groups of people on numerous subjects. These are the results of many hours spent in committee and in community meetings by hundreds of people in the county. Facts were obtained and analyzed. Based on available facts and on expected changes and developments, conclusions were drawn. These conclusions are the result of thorough discussion by all participants and are the expressed judgment of the majority of committee members. These conclusions are an exercise in democracy, the soundness of which few can question.
The report can be the basis for directing needed developments and for improved services as expressed by the people. It is hoped that agencies and individuals mentioned in the report and a concerned public in Clackamas County will strive to implement these programs in the years to follow.Published January 1969.

Farm and Forestry Operation Survey of Water Quality Issues Dairy-McKay Hydrologic Unit Area, Washington County, Oregon, Spring, 1992
No full textOregon State University Extension Service (ES) is responsible for the information and education portion of the USDA Dairy-McKay Hydrologic Unit Area (HUA) Project to reduce rural nonpoint source pollution. Approximately 2,700 people own farm and forest land in the 165,000 acre project area. The ES conducted a phone survey of 298 landowners in the HUA to determine knowledge and implementation of water quality management practices. Producers, when asked · to describe themselves, chose 178 as farmers and 120 as foresters. The respondents were polled for information on:
Acreage, crops, and operation
Stream, roadway, soil, irrigation, and septic system management Livestock and waste management
Water quality projects and agencies
Public perception
Demographics
The HUA is an agriculturally diverse, high-production farm and forest region. Knowledge and implementation of water quality management practices was high, with the exception of animal waste management by non-commercial animal owners. Some owners know that water quality project help is available. Awareness of the HUA project and designated, specific agency assistance was quite low. A notable number from the farming sector rated the agency assistance as unsatisfactory. Many of the respondents don't perceive a water quality problem in their area.
The ES needs to increase awareness of the issue of water quality, potential animal waste problems; what the HUA is; and where agency assistance is available. Successful voluntary water quality management programs have an effective education and information component
