Hey Folks,
Below are a few links from the US Department of Agriculture. Apparently in the 2010 NRI Summary Report, the state of Oregon has less land for agriculture. One of the reasons for this is the amount of land that has been taken out of production for agriculture and used for wetland restoration. One good example is the current Bandon Marsh, which was a working farm just a few years ago and the planned expansion would have taken another 4500 acres of farmland. Now, it is a mosquito pit. Can you imagine what it would be like if the expansion had not been suspended?......Rob T.

2013 NRI-CEAP Survey of Farming and Conservation Practices in the California Bay-Delta Watershed Area
NRCS is partnering with USDA-NASS to deliver the 2013 NRI-CEAP survey, which collects information from agricultural producers in the California Bay-Delta watershed area, with a primary focus on the Sacramento River Watershed, the San Joaquin River Watershed, and the Tulare Lake Basin Watershed, about farming and conservation practices on cultivated and non-cultivated cropland. NASS representatives will visit nearly 1,764 farms in California and Oregon between September 2013 and February 2014 to collect information on farm production practices; chemical, fertilizer and manure applications; integrated pest management; and installed conservation practices.
The farmer questionnaire, NRCS questionnaire, and respondent booklet are available online.
