The North Willamette Research and Extension Center (NWREC) is Oregon State University's only agriculture field research station located in the northwestern part of the state.
We serve farmers in the seven county north valley area and focus our research and education on the region's most important crop systems: nurseries and greenhouses, fresh vegetables and specialty seed crops, berries and small fruit, Christmas trees, Orchard Crops, Field Crops, and Small Farms. In addition, NWREC is the location for the state's only IR-4 Pesticide Registration program working with many of the state’s agricultural crops throughout Oregon.
An annual tradition at NWREC has been a fall Harvest Dinner. It is a celebration of Oregon Agriculture and the part NWREC plays in its ongoing success through continued innovations and research.
This years dinner was a virtual event. Highlights are available by viewing one or all of the videos. Harvest Dinner 2020
