Historical NoteReturn to Top

The Crop and Soil Science Department at Oregon State University offers academic programs for undergraduate and graduate students, conducts research, and disseminates basic and applied knowledge about field crops, cropping systems, soils, agricultural watersheds, and crop-related entomology. The Agronomy Department was established at Oregon Agricultural College in 1907.

Farming Today for Tomorrow is an undergraduate seminar series offered by the Crop and Soil Science, Horticulture, and Agricultural and Resource Economics departments on the environmental, economic, and social aspects of sustainability in agriculture.
