Land looks heavily used, how likely is it to get a farmer to lease land to us?
Travel to Eugene not so easy: No direct flights United: BOS-SFO-EUG ~ $700 Eugene to Corvallis – 1:03 drive
More populated than East of the Cascade Range
Lots of flat agricultural land Near OSU Travel is relatively easy:
Southwest Airlines: MHT-PDX Alaska and AA: BOS-PDX $500-$600 Portland to Corvallis – 1:34 drive
Likely that contractors are readily available
Oregon MSI Radar Build: Summer 2010
East of Bend – near Alfalfa
Scrub land looks a bit hillier, but not sure how hilly... Travel to Alfalfa is not so easy:
No direct flights United: BOS-SFO-RDM ~ $700-$800 Redmond to Alfalfa – 0:40 drive
"public land" could be an issue for permitting
More open land available, some is "public land" Near OSU satellite campus in Bend, OR Travel to Alfalfa is not so easy:
Southwest Airlines: MHT-PDX Alaska and AA: BOS-PDX $500-$600 Portland to Alfalfa – 3:36 drive
