FARMS IN OREGON
In Oregon, the number of farms range by square miles.
​
The darker counties represent a greater amount of farms. It is clear to see the north-western region contains a lot of farms, which are comparably close to railroads, highways, and airports.
The lighter counties represent a lower amount of farms. It is clear to see the south-eastern region contains a low number of farms, which are comparably close only highways, no airports or railroads.
