Irrigation Plans Considered for Umatilla and Morrow Counties

Eastern Oregon irrigation prospects are strong, with potential to water 200000 acres along the Columbia river east of the Umatilla and Echo area. Soil studies show light loam suitable for fruit, alfalfa, truck crops, and other staples, supporting a balanced agricultural district with substantial water infrastructure.
