Oregon's Agricultural Progress Magazine is a report to the taxpayers of Oregon from Oregon State University's Agricultural Experiment Station demonstrating how agriculture contributes to the economy, environment, and social structure of Oregon and the world. The print magazine was first published in 1953. Issues of the magazine from 1953 to the present are available online in Oregon Digital.
Historical Note:
Oregon's Agricultural Progress began publication in 1953. Two to four issues have been published per year since that time. As of 2017, the magazine is published twice per calendar year -- in the winter and summer. The Fall 2003 issue of the magazine includes a retrospective article about the first 50 years of Oregon's Agricultural Progress.
The Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station was established under the provisions of the federal Hatch Act of 1887, which provided grants of $15,000 to each U.S. state and territory for experimentation in the "principles and applications of agricultural science." Agricultural experimentation began at Oregon Agricultural College in 1888 under Edgar Grimm, the Station's first director, and in 1889 state legislation was approved formally establishing the Experiment Station.
