Abstract
The Mid-Columbia Farmers Newsletter is a newsletter written every other month by OSU Extension Agent Jacob Powell serving Wasco and Sherman Counties. The main audience is crop and livestock producers in the Mid-Columbia region covering multiple counties in North Central Oregon. Newsletter recipients include absentee landowners, hobby farmers, researchers, agricultural services and businesses, other extension faculty in the state, and landowners. The goal is to provide timely updates impacting agriculture in the region on topics covering weather, climate forecasts, commodity prices, market forecasts, local agricultural events, and ongoing extension programs and research. Monthly rainfall totals are also summarized and shared from 40 different producers located throughout the counties to help inform farming decisions. The newsletter is mailed to 600 individuals with about 100 going to landowners living outside of the region. In addition, the newsletter is emailed to 250 individuals. The newsletter is also made available online. Powell writes and organizes the newsletter with county office staff providing editing and mailing support.
