Southern Oregon Research & Extension Center Overview

In southern Oregon, a new generation of small-scale farmers works shoulder to shoulder with established orchards and start-up wineries. The Southern Oregon Research and Extension Center (SOREC) provides research-based programs for this active and growing community as they constantly reinvent the agricultural possibilities of the fertile Rogue Valley. Our faculty and staff help thousands of Jackson County residents find answers and solve problems every year, in addition to instructing ongoing programs and a selection of season-appropriate classes. Ten faculty and two support staff members work in the Extension Unit. Two scientists, working in entomology, plant pathology, and horticulture, are located in the Research Unit. https://agsci.oregonstate.edu/sorec
