Biennial survey will track food economy Local farmers and growers are invited to participate in a biennial survey of Rogue Valley agricultural producers in support of Rogue Valley Food System Network's efforts to connect and support the local food economy. "If we intend to effectively communicate the value of our rich and diverse agricultural economy, we need solid data from our growers," said Southern Oregon University assistant professor Vince Smith, who is leading the survey. The first Grower Economic Assessment in 2013 reported gross farm sales of more than $86 million. The assessment also surveys sales by product type and sales by enterprise, such as farmers markets or wholesale. The national USDA Agricultural Census, conducted every five years, does not specifically address the extent to which food production is marketed and sold locally or regionally. Rogue Valley Food System Network is a group of individuals, organizations and businesses that have combined efforts to strengthen local food production and distribution. "This survey is an unbiased way of assessing the impact of our work," said Thrive Executive Director Wendy Siporen. The survey is available at https://sou.co1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_eg33vwWll1gH2W9 or http://tinyurl.com/gnj7bkl All responses are kept anonymous. A paper version of the survey is also available by emailing your mailing address to [email protected] . Roseburg Coca-Cola signs expansion deal Coca-Cola Bottling Co. of Roseburg has signed a letter with Atlanta-based Coca-Cola Co., opening the door for expansion throughout southwestern Oregon and into Northern California. The Roseburg-based franchise holder will assume bottling operations in Reedsport, all of Coos, Curry, Josephine, Jackson, Lake and most of Klamath counties in Oregon, and a small portion of California's Siskiyou County. Bruce Hanna, president of the bottling firm, said in statement the deal is part of a transition toward more rational and contiguous operating territories across the United States. The Hanna family acquired the Roseburg franchise in September 1959. At present, Coca-Cola Bottling Co. of Roseburg employs 40 people, including those working for Automatic Vending Service in Roseburg and Wilsonville. Once the transaction is complete, the operation will have 150 employees in eight counties. Mitsubishi dealership relocates to Hwy. 62 Southern Oregon Mitsubishi has relocated to the corner of Highway 62 and Burlcrest Drive, at the former Carerra Motors location just north of Lithia's Oregon Auto Mall. The franchise has been co-located with Southern Oregon Subaru on Biddle Road since 1989. In making the move, owner Gregg Sorensen has named Randy Nidalmia general manager, Allen Johnson service manager, Sam Teran sales manager, Jody Saling parts manager and Travis Bartholomew finance and insurance manager. The dealership's new telephone number is 541-245-2070.
