Tribal Farm Enterprise starts Spring work on Reservation

Spring work has begun for the Tribal Farm Enterprise (TFE) on the Umatilla Indian Reservation.

Drivers and pedestrians should watch for sprayers and tractors in the

Mission and surrounding areas.

TFE currently has about 4,200 acres in wheat, 640 acres in spring barley, and about 300 acres of yellow mustard (used as a condiment). Additionally, 3,000 acres are in unfarmed fallow.

Tribal Farm Manager Kevin Hudson said FTE will continue “regenerative” agricultural practices that include cover cropping to stabilize soil throughout the winter and spring, and promote soil health. TFE planted cover crops last fall.

Current wheat prices are around $7.20 per bushel (Portland price). Last year’s harvest price averaged $9.80 per bushel.

Hudson also said the TFE, which falls under the direction of the Confederated Tribes’ Farm Committee, continues to follow changes to the federal Farm Bill. The CTUIR has provided or will be providing official comments on proposed changes.
