Hosting tours on your farm or ranch can provide additional income and help tell an important story about Oregon agriculture, rural communities and local food production. Here's a guide to getting started.
Onion growers in Treasure Valley have faced difficulties in controlling thrips. One of the problems is resistance to commonly used insecticides. Researchers conducted tests to find the most effective insecticides.

With targeted research, Oregon State University Extension Service and the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station responded by providing growers with information on better nutrient management of those crops.
