Project: Delivery of two new plot combines

USDA J. Herbert Stone Nursery 2606 Old Stage Rd, Central Point, OR 97502

GENERAL INFORMATION

1.0 Scope of Work: Delivery of two (2) plot combines that are specifically designed for harvesting small plots of grass and forbs for seed amplification.

2.0 Background The J. Herbert Stone Nursery has been producing grass and forb seed for government agencies for over 20 years. There has been a tremendous increase in demand for suitable site-specific native plant materials over the past decade. This trend seems to be increasing exponentially with no end in sight. The increased frequency in large wildfires and the need to quickly rehabilitate severely burned areas has been the major driver for this demand. The need to restore areas quickly after disturbance such as wildfire and timber harvest, not only affects the ecosystem function, but also reduces erosion, decreases sedimentation in waterways, and reduces competition from invasive species that thrive on disturbance. The nursery has been limited to growing an average of 30 acres worth of crops each season, accepting an average of 10 new acres of crops each year. Each year the nursery turns away dozens of seed increase orders due to capacity constraints. The capacity constraints are primarily driven by the small and outdated harvesting equipment owned by the nursery. These outdated combines will be replaced. The new plot combines will be utilized to increase the seed amplification capacity of the nursery to better serve all government agencies west of the Rocky Mountains.

During the harvest season, the plot combines will harvest and clean seeds of dozens of grass and forb species to better serve our clients who restore and rehabilitate public lands.
