Average Yield and Price for Corn Seed and Grass Seed in Umatilla County #888535
Asked October 22, 2024, 7:26 PM EDT
Good afternoon,
I am a loan officer for the USDA, Farm Service Agency in Pendleton, OR. I am currently working with a borrower that has a corn seed and grass seed operation in Hermiston, OR. Although he contracts out his corn and grass seed, I was wondering if you could provide me any sort of price/lb. or price/bu. averages and yield averages that are typical for Umatilla County.
He currently produces irrigated corn seed, Kentucky Bluegrass grass seed, Perennial Ryegrass grass seed, Tall Fescue grass seed, Timothy grass seed, and Wheatgrass grass seed.
Any sort of county average breakdown would be great, as there is not a ton of research or information on corn and grass seed in our area.
