Grass Seed

If you're a Nebraska farmer, you either grow (1) corn and beans or (2) beans and corn. But if you're a farmer in the Willamette Valley of Oregon you may be growing any of over 90 different crops. One of the biggest of these is grass seed.

10% of Oregon's cropland is dedicated to the grass seed business.

60% of the world's grass seed is grown in Oregon.

This field is in Mt. Angel, Oregon. The sun has just reached some of the the grass, while the rest still lies in shadow. This photo was taken a couple weeks before the grass was cut (always at night so that the dampness keeps the seeds from falling to the ground), allowed to dry on the ground for several days, and then picked up and separated with a combine. The remaining grass is then baled.

Wherever people are, they figure out what works in that particular location. God made us adaptable and creative.
