A collaboration is leading to new solutions to plastic waste in agriculture. OSU is partnering with onion growers to explore an innovative & sustainable method that can convert drip line plastic into diesel fuel. The #pyrolysis process involves heating a material to a very high temperature without access to oxygen. This was demonstrated at Malheur Field Day with a lot of interest. “A grower came up to me and said, ‘Why the heck did we not know about this before?’ They were just very excited that it was an option.” Full story: https://lnkd.in/g4dcPXnc College of Engineering – Oregon State University

Join us for Hemp Field Day! Sept 4th at SOREC in Central Point.
It is Field Day season time of the year. As it is for other hemp programs around the country, so it is in Oregon. Oregon State University Hemp Field Day this year will be held on Wednesday, September 4, 2024, from 7:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m at the Southern Oregon Research & Extension Center. The event will take place at 569 Hanley Road, Central Point, OR 97502. Featured will be a series of visits to three well-established Jackson County floral hemp farms: Elli-Hou Farms, Fern Valley Farms, and Horn Creek Farms. These stops will offer valuable insights into farming operations, including their challenges faced and opportunities available to today’s floral hemp producers. There will also be a tour of SOREC’s hemp research projects in entomology and agronomy, showcasing the latest developments in the field. Additionally, later in the day at 4:30 PM, there will be a special tour focused on hemp grain and fiber varietal plots at the Klamath Basin Research and Extension Center. We encourage all interested to take advantage of these unique opportunities to learn from experienced hemp growers and researchers and to network with key leaders in the hemp industry. Thank you to Govinda Shrestha, Stephen Baluch, Everald McLennon, PhD, and Brian Charlton for showing off your good work. The event is free of charge, but please registration is required.

New research looks into the effectiveness of carbon sequestration on “natural and working” farmlands. The findings suggest that it would be better to spend on other actions to reduce emissions and mitigate climate change. OSU's Daniel Bigelow & other U.S. researchers looked at how valuable recent legislative actions might be as a way to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the air.

Capital Press did a great bio-interview of our newest station director Brian Pearson. The Mid-Columbia Agricultural Research & Extension director originally grew up in suburban New Jersey, but after moving to Florida he became interested in agriculture. He's excited to conduct research that will help local farmers answer their most important ag questions. "...we can conduct research in fields that are just like the farms next door." https://lnkd.in/g6dAg4NU

Looking for a fun podcast this weekend? 🐈 Check out this interview with OSU's Monique Udell, Director of the Human-Animal Interaction Lab, as she talks with OPB's Think Out Loud about training cats. The lab has learned a lot about human & cat interactions and relationships, but Monique is hoping for a lot more research about #cats. https://lnkd.in/gp_sfTph
