Labor demand, productivity and overhead cost estimates for harvesting the 1990 strawberry crop
This is the third study of farm labor the Agricultural Experiment Station has completed for the Oregon Strawberry Commission. The first was completed for the 1987 harvest season. The second was completed for the 1989 season. This report covers the 1990 harvest year. The strategy for this study has been to seek basic information, such as labor demand and productivity in each survey for the comparison of trends over time. Additional questions are investigated in each survey that are of timely interest to growers and may not be repeated every year. The report this year will cover information of continuing and special interest.Published January 1992. Facts and recommendations in this publication may no longer be valid.

Estimated costs of reducing nonpoint phosphorus loads from agricultural land in the Tualatin Basin, Oregon
About one-third of the land in the Tualatin Basin is used for agricultural production (Miner, Scott, and Wood, 1994). The variety of crops produced includes grains, specialty seeds, vegetables, fruits, berries, and nursery corps. Cattle and hog enterprises are the most prevalent livestock operations in the area (measured by number of head), with small numbers of dairy and sheep operations also present. Agricultural production can be a nonpoint source of phosphorus pollution. One alternative in helping to meet Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) limits for phosphorus in the Tualatin River is to decrease the loading of phosphorus from agricultural sources. Potential sources of agricultural phosphorus pollution are from applications of phosphorus fertilizers and livestock wastes through surface runoff on sediments and groundwater interflows (Wolf, 1993). A range of best management practices (BMPs) has been identified to address these sources (Washington County Soil and Water Conservation District, 1991 ); most are technically feasible to implement. Documented reductions in pollution due to adoption of these practices are generally not available, but most experts agree that the practices would result in decreased levels of phosphorus loads from agriculture. This report describes a set of management practices that have been suggested to reduce agricultural nonpoint source pollution and estimates the economic impacts of adopting these practices
