Welcome to CPCRC

The Columbia Plateau Conservation Research Center, Pendleton, Oregon is a place where agronomists, soil scientists, hydrologists, and microbiologists work together every day to find solutions to agricultural problems.

Specifically, we conduct research in two primary areas:

·         Develop and transfer the science-based knowledge of soil resource management needed to ensure abundant and affordable food, feed and fiber for the Nation while protecting our soil, water and air resources, and

·         Provide science-based information and its effective retrieval, management, and analysis for agricultural management and decision-making.
