(2022) As climate changes, interest grows in OSU Extension Dry Farming Project The OSU Dry Farming Project continues as the go-to resource for dry farming and model for participatory climate adaptation research as growers throughout the West continue to feel the impacts of drought and seek alternatives to unreliable summer irrigation.
(2020) AgBizLogic-Climate Change Impacts on Agriculture As farmers and ranchers work to feed our nation, they depend on the weather to help their crops and animals thrive. But the climate is changing. Temperatures are rising, along with carbon dioxide levels. With the right tools, today's farmers and ranchers have the resilience it takes to respond to climate change. OSU produced two online tools: AgBizLogic and AgBizClimate. You can use these tools to create budgets and access local-level climate information.
