2015 Estimated cost of establishing and producing hops in the Pacific Northwest

Abstract

The results presented in this publication serve as a general guide for evaluating the feasibility of producing hops in the Pacific Northwest as of 2015, with a capital and machinery endowment suited to a 660-acre hop enterprise. Also discussed are the key factors to consider in expanding a hop operation. This publication is not intended to be a definitive guide to production practices, but is helpful in estimating the physical and financial requirements of comparable plantings
