V. CANIDATE’S STATEMENT
BAGROUND INFORMATION
My extension faculty position is assigned to the Oregon State University Extension Service in
Umatilla and Morrow Counties. My responsibilities are to provide educational programs (100%)
and applied research in irrigated crops management. Agronomic crops for which I have
responsibility include wheat, peas, canola, alfalfa, watermelons, potatoes, onions, carrots,
triticale, sweet corn, grass seed and field corn. The Lower Umatilla Basin (LUB) has
approximately 200,000 irrigated acres in Umatilla and Morrow counties. Potatoes are grown on
approximately 30,000 acres and account for over 6.5 million farm gate dollars to the LUB.
Value added products such as French fries, chips, double baked potatoes and dehydrated potatoes
increase the value of potatoes to the community.
I offer expertise on a wide range of topics to the general public, growers and fieldmen in the
area. I do this over the telephone, personal meetings, public presentations and on sight
visitations. I also represent agriculture’s interests on committees. I am responsible for providing
educational pesticide and CCA licensing opportunities for local growers and fieldmen. I
cooperate with other extension personal throughout the state providing education to a variety of
clientele.
My primary concerns are profitability and environmental sustainability of local cropping
systems. My educational and research program are driven by clientele needs both expressed and
perceived. For example three field days were held this year, one for sweet corn, grass seed and
cereal production. I frequently visit farms and network with fieldmen and growers that did not
receive a visit to help set priorities for both educational programs and research. Program
direction and interaction with collaborators is as follows:
Re-use consortium
Held second annual meeting
Discuss soil and plant monitoring information with stakeholders
Grass seed production
Completed first year research on N trial
Received funding from Oregon grass seed commission, Washington bluegrass
commission and Tri-state grass

4. Program Impact Statements
The following are impact statements for two of my education programs. They demonstrate how
I approach my job and the impact of my activities.
VEGETABLES
SITUATION
Potato, onion and other vegetables nutrition has been worked on in a variety of ways in the past.
Little documentation of how these vegetables utilize nutrients on a daily basis has been
completed even though most growers fertilize on a daily or weekly basis. There has also been
some misconception of the quantities of nutrient that a potato plant uses and what is removed in
the tuber and what is left behind for the next crop in potato vine and roots. Soil pH has become
an increasing problem with vegetable production in the last ten years. Onions, peas and alfalfa
are two of the more sensitive crops in the area. Decreasing soil potassium levels are also a
concern on some soils.
ACTION
A potassium trial was set up at Terra Poma farms. The shepody and russet Burbank field were
monitored for drymatter production, yield, quality and nutrient uptake. A lime trial was set up at
Walchli farms in an onion field where soil pH was below 6.0. A pea trial in cooperation with
Smith frozen foods and the Pendleton experiment station was established in the green house as a
pH and molybdenum experiment. I am a committee member of PNVA a regional vegetable
association. I am co-chair for tours for the upcoming national allium meeting to be held in
Pasco, WA. A soil acidification publication is being worked on. I cooperate with Russ Ingham
on cover crops and ways to control nematodes in vegetable production
IMPACT
The potato information has been an important education tool for use in my extension program.
Data generated from this study has been used to show growers and fieldmen the futility of late
season fertilization for many nutrients. The impact of K on potato production and economical
ways to tackle its fertilization. The rate of potassium uptake for example approaches 15 pounds
of K per acre per day during the peak uptake period. Total K uptake was 400-800 pounds of K
per acre depending on year and potato variety. Little K is utilized during the later stages of
bulking and approximately 50% of the K is in the tuber. Conversely, phosphorous is utilized
PAGE 30
where 90% is in the tuber with only 10% in the vine at the final harvest. Potato P uptake rate
peaks at about one pound per acre per day but persists throughout the bulking period.
The onion lime trial was designed to use a variety of products as well as lime rates to determine
the need onions have for lime and what products are suitable. Regrettably this field was
damaged due to the misapplication of a herbicide.
The peas from the seed lot in question had a molybdenum seed coat applied.

ENVIRONMENTAL
SITUATION
Simplot, Lamb Weston, Smith Frozen Foods, Hermiston Generating, Port of Morrow as well as
others have wastewater fields that are currently located in Umatilla and Morrow counties. Many
other environmental factors are impacting growers and possessors whether it be HB 2156,
salmon and water flows, The NRCS’s phosphorous index or functioning in the Ground water
management area. New dairies are also moving into the area where agronomic application of
nutrients is expected. There is still need for reclamation grasses that can survive in our climate.
ACTION
A workgroup called the Re-use water consortium was established to address agronomic and
regulatory issues relating to the land application of food possessor waters . A meeting was held
at the Port of Morrow for interested parties including DEQ, possessors and consultants.
I sit on the HB2156 technical advisory committee and the NRCS committee for establishing the
phosphous index for Oregon and Washington. I am also involved with the LUB-GWMA.
A probe truck is maintained by me to assist with deep sampling. A new truck was purchased for
the probe to reside on.
PAGE 30
A reclamation grass trial was established at Madison Farms and at HAREC.
IMPACT
DEQ, growers and prosessors are working together more harmoniously to more closely monitor
agronomic use of re-use nutrients. A system is set up that is relatively non-confrontational where
all sides can address their concerns. A new OM&M guideline is being released by DEQ that was
modified due to re-use consortium comments. There will be a minimum of 1100 new re-use
irrigated acres added to the Umatilla/Morrow area. The waste will be applied by pivot irrigation.
The PI index is now accepted by the NRCS in both Washington and Oregon. The probe truck
has seen more use in 2001 than ever in the past. The only reclamation grass that survived was
tetraploid perennial ryegrass.

GRASS SEED
SITUATION
Grass seed is a relatively new crop to the LUB. Diseases, fertility and weed control issues are all
relatively new and unresearched. A LUB grass seed growers organization has been formed with
an education and research objective. Jane Pope is the local seed certification technician which I
supervise.
ACTION
Farm fair had a grass seed session. A grass seed field day was held on May 31. A Kentucky
bluegrass nitrogen trial was established in the fall of 2001. New grass seed fertilizer guides for
fine fescue, annual ryegrass, tall fescue and perennial ryegrass are being worked on.
PAGE 30
IMPACT
Over 100 growers, fieldmen and industry representatives attend the annual grass seed field day
which focused on disease and weed issues. Grass seed crops continue to be an increasing
important crop in the LUB.

FORAGES AND CEREALS
SITUATION
Forage, particularly alfalfa, is grown on a large amount of acreage in the LUB. Cereals
including corn, wheat oats and triticale are grown for both forage and grain production.
Sometimes there is a need for a summer annual clover especially in years where forage is scarce
and valuable. There is also a need for dryland forages that will survive our summers.
A need exists to demonstrate that HRSW can make protein with out leaving excessive amounts
of nitrogen in the soil.
ACTION
Farm fair had a forage and livestock session. Planted a trial with berseem clover a summer
clover that is suited to warm climates. Established a dryland grass evaluation trial at both
Madison Farms and HAREC.
Hay King contest at Umatilla fair
Worked with simplot at Grandview farms and Terra Poma farms to work out nitrogen
applications such that 14% protein could be made and minimize impact to environment.
PAGE 30
IMPACT
Awarded a Hay King buckle to Chris Aylett. Over twenty fields in excess of 2000 acres at
Grandview Farms made 14% protein on their HRSW.

MISCELLANEOUS
SITUATION
This position is considered a resource position for everything in the area from “bugs” to water
application and quality to ? Homeowners, teachers, nursery owners, bankers, real estate agents,
detectives all use this position as a resource. This position is responsible for providing training
and credits for pesticide certification. This requires a significant amount of time approximately
5-10% depending on the season. The secretary is becoming more proficient at dealing with these
issues.
ACTION
Farm Fair had two sessions of core training. Participate on national Committees for NAPT as
budget chair and AOAC-ASA committee for joint soil method evaluation.
IMPACT
Hopefully questions are answered in a agronomic and environmentally friendly manner.

Hermiston Farm Fair – A three day event located at the Hermiston Community Center.
Attendance is 200-350 people per day and consists of growers, fieldmen, industry
representatives, high school students and the interested general public. This meeting consists of
a potato day where the potato industry is provided information to keep it state of the art. There
are two general sessions that cover a wide variety of issues from soil pH to weed control.
Annually there is and agriculture issue forum that deals with water issues and any other issue
that is pertinent for the time. This year (2000) we had discussions on salmon recovery in the first
half and Oregon Lein laws in the second have of the session. I also chaired two sessions for this
meeting. One on potato day and one of the general sessions.
PNVA Winter Meeting – The Pacific Northwest Vegetable Association (PNVA) holds an
annual meeting that attracts approximately 600 of growers, fieldmen and industry
representatives. I have spoken several times at this meeting regarding onion nutrition. I am
currently a board member. I help put the program together, called vendors, and chaired a session
for this meeting. Sessions on onions, carrots, asparagus, sweet corn beans and peas are
generally offered.
