The North Unit Irrigation District ended its 2026 irrigation season on October 9 after setting reduced water allotments in March following a dry winter. Farmers growing potatoes, wheat and hay on about 58,000 irrigated acres in Jefferson County, Oregon, operated under the tightest allotments in recent memory, though reservoir storage carried them through the season.
Reduced irrigation water in central Oregon tightens local hay and wheat output, a small contribution to regional forage supply that is unlikely to move global prices.
