An overview of the hop production industry in Oregon, featuring great footage of every step of the hop production process, from growing to harvesting to processing to distribution.
Maybe I should hire some Mexicans next year. I have to say I was amazed that every single worker there was Hispanic. I would be half if not more are illegal.
To those talking about growing hops at home, it's very easy. This is the commercial scale. All you really need is the room to grow the plant 15+ feet tall, some good sun, and decent soil. If you can grow a garden you can grow hops at home. I just harvested my 5 plants and I'm set for homebrewing for the year. I grow Zeus, Sterling, Nugget, Newport, and Glacier. I was curious how it's done commercially after hand picking 5 plants.
Is this the same facility I saw Mike Rowe do an episode of Dirty Jobs at ?

So this is all in the valley? I have not seen this being grown in central oregon..... MMMM idea? Would it not grow here in central oregon??
The government is paying people not to grow barley or wheat over here, nothing has been said about this...... though I only own 20 acres.
Thank you for the video, educational!
