Sources & confidence
Oregon estimate · medium confidence · data as of 2025 — Oregon shares the Pacific Northwest band: directory cites WA/OR/ID row crops at the $14-20 low end and orchards/vineyards at the high end. Specialty band aligned to the national/PNW orchard-vineyard $18-32 range; Oregon vineyards (steep Willamette/Walla Walla rows) and hazelnut orchards push toward the higher end. No public Oregon operator posts an exact per-acre number and no OSU extension survey breaks out aerial/drone rates, so confidence is medium. costIndex 1.28 reflects PNW being a modest premium over Iowa but well below California (no CDPR overhead).
