Welcome to the Columbia Plateau Conservation Research Center. The CPCRC conducts research on soil and water conservation issues in the Columbia Plateau and related land resource areas.
 USDA-ARS and OSU employees of the Pendleton Agricultural Research Center gather for a staff photo prior to Field Day, June 2019.

 Hero Gollany monitors greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the long-term no-till wheat-fallow, wheat-pea, and conventional tillage experiments. Wayne Polumsky and Janaina DeMoura Oliveria are taking soil gas samples for GHG determination.
 The USDA-Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and Oregon State University at Pendleton OR, conduct research on dryland crop production and soil and water conservation. Together, our team is developing sustainable farming practices that halt erosion, protect air quality, conserve soil water, reduce farm inputs and enhance soil quality and soil health.
