Agriculture in Wallowa County

Crops in Wallowa County: 2007 Report

By John Williams, OSU Wallowa County Extension Agent

Livestock continues to be the largest sector of Wallowa County’s agricultural economy, which is vastly dominated by cattle. There are currently over 24,000 mother cows that are in the permanent herds with an additional 8,000 cattle from other areas grazing for the summer. There is nearly 5,000 head of sheep that summer in the county. These operations produce over $17.9 million of farm gate sales.

The crops portion of agriculture is much more diversified with nearly 9,000 acres of wheat, 4,200 acres of barley, with nearly 29,000 acres of hay (alfalfa, grass, and grain) grown. If you add to that the incidental “tree farm” income, crops in Wallowa County produce over $25 million. The total agricultural farm gate sales for Wallowa County was $43,519,000 in 2007.
