Columbia Basin Agricultural Research Center, with facilities in Pendleton
and Moro, is a branch of the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station at
OSU's College of Agricultural Sciences. Field research at both Pendleton
and Moro emphasizes the production of wheat and rotational crops such
as barley, legumes, and canola. Scientists at the Columbia Basin Center
specialize in research and extension work important to the production
of field crops on 1 million acres in north-central and northeastern Oregon.
Wheat, barley, and legumes in this region generate 10 to 15 percent of
Oregon's agricultural cash receipts, with a market value of more than
$150 million annually. |
