Crop summary of 1917 season in Oregon crops and livestock
The 1917 growing year in Oregon suffered from drought late 1916 and spring cold wet conditions delaying fall seeding for wheat and forage. Hay and grain shortages forced shipments, while livestock feed demand rose. Spring and summer were wet and cool with little rain after May in some areas, yet harvest still occurred and prices remained favorable despite a bumper 1916 crop in comparison. Winter wheat yields dropped, spring wheat rose, oats declined, and overall production faced weather-driven variability across crops and regions.
