Does this information get published publicly?

We periodically get requests like - “how many vineyard acres in Oregon and the Willamette Valley are dry-farmed”?

The survey is more about how many producers are using irrigation or are dry-farmed. We don't publicize who responded. In fact, we don't necessarily even ask their contact details.

Can a summary of the report be published?

Is there a list of the questions available before you take the survey?

Just wanted to reinforce that we do not publish a list of people who are irrigating or not. This is for quality control purposes as Alec noted. Also, typically these results show up in our newsletters, etc. Alec will be the lead on this one.

Rather than identities of respondents, a general percentage of respondents who irrigate or dry-farm (as well as the number of total respondents) would be helpful. I’m guessing that will be in the reported results. Thank you!

Yes, those are the data we’re looking for - and of course everything will be anonymous upon reporting.

What is the precipitation outlook for this winter?

Yeah lost audio

I will provide a PDF of the checklists for the group.

Last thing we heard was “for those that are irritated…"
