There have been a number of questions regarding Oregon seed production statistics and in particular, trends in seed crop acreage and seed yields. To address these questions, a new feature has been added to Seed Production – tables of sortable data for Oregon’s seed crops.

The source of this data is the Oregon State University Extension Service. The tables can be found under the Production Statistics tab near the top of the main page.

Below is the first installment, the Alfalfa Seed Production Statistics Table:
