**

The Yamhill 8-Digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) watershed is comprised of
493,469 acres in northwest Oregon. Ninety-nine percent of the watershed
is in Yamhill and Polk Counties. The watershed has 1,679 farms, of which
65 percent are less than 50 acres in size.

Eighty-six percent of the watershed is under private ownership. The
watershed is 58 percent forest land, 29 percent grass seed pasture and
hayland, and the remainder is mostly grain crops, nurseries, vineyards,
and row crops.

Conservation assistance is provided by six NRCS service centers, one
resource conservation and development (RC&D) office, one soil survey
office, and seven soil and water conservation districts.

**Grass/Pasture/Hay**

-   Pastureland on small farms and ranches presents serious forage and
    grazing management issues.

-   Proper waste management is needed for CAFO operations to avoid water
    quality problems associated with nutrients and pathogens.

-   In suburban areas, odor associated with animal waste is increasingly
    becoming a contentious issue.

-   Grass seed commonly is produced under contract. Nutrient management
    and erosion control are primary concerns during the years when the
    seed is being established.

**Grain, Row, and Perennial Crops**

-   Residue, nutrient, and pest management and use of filter strips and
    buffers are needed to control erosion and protect water quality.

**Forest** **Land**

-   Invasive species and productivity are concerns on private,
    non-industrial forest land.

-   On non-industrial forest land, landowner objectives commonly do not
    include actively managing the land for timber production. Land use
    constraints and a lack of economic incentives further discourage
    conservation.

[]{#census .anchor}**Census and Social Data**[^/14^](#Footnote14) [*Back

**Number of Farms: 1,679**

**Number of Operators: 2,708**

-   Full-Time Operators: **840**

    ![](media/image5.wmf){width="3.8854166666666665in"
    height="1.625in"}**1,868**

**Estimated Level of Willingness and Ability to Participate in
Conservation**[^[/15]{.underline}^](#Footnote15)**: GENERALLY HIGH**

Part-time operators with farms of less than 50 acres, which includes the
vast majority of the farmers, need the most time and technical
assistance in order to adopt appropriate conservation practices and
systems on their land. They need information about local resource
problems and appropriate conservation practices or systems and the
management skills to adopt conservation practices. This group generally
is well educated, has a positive stewardship ethic, and has adequate
financial resources.

Other farmers in the watershed are well aware of local resource concerns
and, for the most part, know what to do about them. Their greatest need
is more timely technical assistance and additional incentives to adopt
conservation practices.

**Evaluation of Social Capital**[^[/16]{.underline}^](#Footnote16)**:
MODERATE**

The communities in the watershed generally have adequate human resources
(leadership, widespread volunteerism, access to information) to
successfully promote conservation and assist landowners in adopting
conservation practices and systems. The community and local
organizations may be key to successfully motivating small landowners to
adopt conservation practices.

-   []{#progressstatus .anchor}Progress over the last five years has
    been focused on:

```{=html}

```
-   Nutrient and pest management on CAFOs and cropland.

-   Erosion control on cropland.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Wildlife habitat management in riparian and wetland areas.

```
-   Farmers producing row crops such as corn, beans, and cole crops
    commonly rely on cannery consultants and fertilizer dealers.

-   Farmers producing perennial crops such as nursery stock and
    Christmas trees commonly do not seek assistance from NRCS or SWCDs.

-   Much of the pasture that is at the benchmark level is located on
    small farms.

-   Private industrial forest owners typically do not work with NRCS and
    SWCDs; however, their land commonly complies with State forest
    practice requirements.

-   Much of the rangeland and forest land in the watershed is on farms
    less than 50 acres in size and is not managed for forage or timber.
    Frequently, this non-industrial private forest land does not comply
    with the State forest practice requirements.

conservationists.)*

1.  Ownership Layer -- Source: The 1:24,000 scale public ownership layer
    is the land ownership/management for public entities, including
    Federal, Tribal, State, and local entities. This is a seamless,
    statewide Oregon Public Ownership vector layer composed of fee
    ownership of lands by Federal, State, Tribal, county, and city
    agencies. The layer is comprised of the best available data compiled
    at 1:24,000 scale or larger, and the line work matches GCDB boundary
    locations and ORMAP standards where possible. The layer is available
    from the State of Oregon GIS Service Center:
    <http://www.gis.state.or.us/data/alphalist.html>. For current
    ownership status, consult official records at appropriate Federal,
    State, and county offices. Ownership classes grouped to calculate
    Federal ownership vs. non-Federal ownership by the Water Resources
    Planning Team.[]{#Footnote2 .anchor}

1.  National Land Cover Dataset (NLCD) - Originator: U.S. Geological
    Survey (USGS);\
    Publication date: 19990631; Title: Oregon Land Cover Data Set,
    Edition: 1;\
    Geospatial data presentation form: Raster digital data; Publisher:

    Abstract: These data can be used in a geographic information system
    (GIS) for any number of purposes, such as assessing wildlife
    habitat, water quality, pesticide runoff, land use change, etc. The
    State data sets are provided with a 300-meter buffer beyond the
    State border to facilitate combining the State files into larger
    regions.[]{#Footnote3nri .anchor}

2.  ESTIMATES FROM THE 1997 NRI DATABASE (REVISED DECEMBER 2000) REPLACE
    ALL PREVIOUS REPORTS AND ESTIMATES. Comparisons made using data
    published for the 1982, 1987, or 1992 NRI may produce erroneous
    results. This is because of changes in statistical estimation
    protocols and because all data collected prior to 1997 were
    simultaneously reviewed (edited) as 1997 NRI data were collected.
    All definitions are available in the glossary. In addition, this
    December 2000 revision of the 1997 NRI data updates information
    released in December 1999 and corrects a computer error discovered
    in March 2000. For more information:

14. []{#Footnote15 .anchor}Conservation participation was estimated
    using NRCS Social Sciences Technical Note 1801, [Guide for
    Estimating Participation in Conservation]{.underline}, 2004. Four
    categories of indicators were evaluated: Personal characteristics,
    farm structural characteristics, perceptions of conservation, and
    community context. Estimates are based on information received from
    local conservationists in the watershed.

15. []{#Footnote16 .anchor}Social capital is an indicator of the
    community's ability and willingness to work together to solve
    problems. A high amount of social capital helps a community to be
    physically healthy, socially progressive, and economically vigorous.
    A low amount of social capital typically results in community
    conflict, lack of trust and respect, and unsuccessful attempts to
    solve problems. The evaluation is based on NRCS Technical Report
    Release 4.1, March, 2002: [Adding Up Social Capital: An Investment
    in Communities]{.underline}. Local conservationists provided
    information to measure social capital. Scores range from 0 to 76.
