Looking to long term lease or lease to own agriculture land with potential for a seed cleaning facility in Southern Oregon


?

Land Seeker Description

My wife and I have been farming together for the last 24 years, primarily in the Willamette Valley and Northeast Oregon. We have recently move to Jackson County and are looking to expand our operation with a seed cleaning facility and direct marketing of some of the crops we grow. We are looking for dry or irrigated land to farm primarily in Southern or Western OR. We are open to other ideas and locations.  We have experience with numerous crops but in the current challenging farming economy, we are growing winter wheat, annual rye grass, and buckwheat.


What features of the property are essential?

Water rights are preferable, but not essential depending on the setup.


Describe your farming experience

My wife and I began farming the year after we got married in 1999. We have been a diversified mostly irrigated farm in the Willamette Valley and Umatilla Counties of Oregon. We have grown various varieties of Grass Seed, Corn, Edible Beans, Alfalfa, Grass Hay, Peas, Canola, Radish, and Buckwheat. We have a lot of experience with various irrigation systems.
