Dry Farming in the Pacific Northwest

Learn about research into dry farming techniques for vegetable crops in the maritime Pacific Northwest. This project is supported by the USDA Northwest Climate Hub which provides science-based information to assist with making climate-informed decisions. Dry farming is a technique that utilizes the natural moisture retention of soil to grow crops without irrigation, which may be a useful strategy for farmers experiencing drought or altered precipitation patterns. This research was led by the Oregon State University Extension Service Small Farms program.
