Plant Grass Seed

The Willamette Grass and Seed Project wants food to stay hyper-local, no more than 150 miles from field to pantry. -- The Willamette Valley is called the grass seed capital of the world. "If we had any natural disasters at all, we won't have anything," said Willow Coberly, Willamette Seed and Grain. But what happens here when grass seed profits fall flat.
