Flex Cropping and Precision Agriculture Technologies : Bill Jepsen : Farmer to Farmer Case Study

Abstract

Bill Jepson farms in northeastern Oregon, in an area receiving 12 inches or less of annual precipitation. In this publication, Bill Jepson discusses his operation's strategy for flex cropping to make his farm as profitable and sustainable as possible. He has been trying various strategies and plans since the early 1990s and shares his experience for other farmers to consider. This case study is part of the Farmer-to-Farmer Case Study project, which explores innovative approaches regional farmers are using that may increase their resilience in the face of a changing climate.
