Abstract: Report Introduction: A Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) project is a locally initiated and sponsored activity. Its purpose is to expand the economic opportunities for the people of an area by developing and carrying out a plan of action for the orderly conservation, improvement, development, and wise use of their natural resources. Ten RC&D projects were authorized for planning in 1963. Sponsors of two of these, the Upper Willamette and Idaho-Washington RC&D projects, are considering increased alfalfa production as one possibility for economic expansion. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of establishing alfalfa dehydrating plants within these project areas. The findings of this report can be applied to other areas as well.
