Hermiston anchors the irrigated Columbia Basin of Umatilla County, where water from the Columbia and Umatilla rivers supports more than 100,000 acres of intensive agriculture. The area is famous for the sweet Hermiston watermelon, grown in sandy soils under hot days and cool nights, and it produces heavy volumes of onions, potatoes, sweet corn, alfalfa hay, wheat, and mint.
With OSU's Hermiston Agricultural Research and Extension Center supporting nearly half a million acres of irrigated ground across the Oregon-Washington basin, local growers depend on custom spraying, irrigation, land prep, and harvest support timed to demanding production schedules.
Agnomy connects Hermiston-area growers with verified service providers who understand Columbia Basin irrigation, crop rotations, and compliance, making it easier to find, book, and manage ag services across the region.
