  • Hazelnut Orchard Irrigation Trends & Considerations

    As Oregon hazelnut growers experience hotter, dryer summers, the industry is trending away from traditional dryland farming and installing irrigation systems as they plant new orchards. Watch this brief interview with OSU Hazelnut Extension Specialist Nik Wiman as he discusses the variety of irrigation options growers are adopting around the Willamette Valley and why.  Read more about it in Pacific Nut Producer Magazine. If you’re not currently receiving the print publication, subscribe for free at: https://malcolmmedia.com/subscribe/

  • Filbertworm Mating Disruption in Hazelnut Becomes More Economical

    When it comes to hazelnut insect pests, filbertworm is number one.  Managing the pest with insecticides and novel mating disruption technology can also be quite costly; however, Oregon State University has been seeing some positive results through field trials and recent studies that not only prove the efficacy of mating disruption, but also make the technology more affordable for the grower in managing this pest.  Watch this brief interview with OSU IPM Research Assistant in the Vaughn Walton Lab, Betsey Miller, as she explains; and read more in Pacific Nut Producer Magazine. Don’t currently receive the monthly publication?

  • Subjective Yield Survey Results Project an Oregon Hazelnut Crop of 62,000 Tons

    The Hazelnut Marketing Board has concluded its annual Subjective Yield Survey, and according to projections, the harvest is anticipated to be approximately 62,600 tons.

    The Subjective Yield Survey is conducted by sending cards to hazelnut farmers and asking them to project what they think their yield will be based on how hazelnuts trees look in mid-July. A challenging weather year led to very divergent answers on many survey cards. While some growers projected incremental and exponential growth, others anticipate decreases in yield due to the ice storm in February and extreme heat and drought during the summer months.

    The Subjective Yield Survey is typically done in conjunction with the Objective Yield Survey conducted by USDA-NASS. However, due to a labor shortage, the Objective Yield Survey could not be completed this year, thus making the data in the Subjective Yield Survey even more critical to the industry.

    The viable survey cards were cross-referenced with field mapping statistics from Pacific Agricultural Survey, per its December 2020 report. When extrapolated out, the projected crop size is 125,233,017 pounds or 62,603.652 tons, which would be a new high for the industry.

    The following table details these calculations:
