Agricultural and Resource Economics Department Motion Picture Films and Videotapes, 1954-1994

Predominant Dates: 1961-1978

The Agricultural and Resource Economics (AREC) Department Motion Picture Films and Videotapes consist, in bulk, of film reels documenting the cultivation, harvest and processing of apples, cherries, peaches and pears among many other crops. Several of these films were produced by AREC faculty member R. Donald Lagmo for use in research, instruction and training. The collection also contains a smaller number of videotaped lectures delivered by OSU faculty and other regional experts participating in "Economics and the Endangered Species Act," an AREC seminar course offered in Winter 1994.

Scope and Content Notes

The Agricultural and Resource Economics Department Motion Picture Films and Videotapes are comprised of 116 8-mm and 16-mm film reels, and nine VHS video cassettes.

The film reels contain footage of a wide array of agricultural practices specific to the tending, harvesting and processing of crops cultivated in the Pacific Northwest and along the west coast. Apples, cherries, peaches and pears stand out as crops that are heavily documented in the films, though the collection's reels also record activities associated with blueberries, filberts, green beans, olives, onions, peas, pistachios and strawberries. Footage related to the cultivation and processing of oysters, shrimp and turkeys, and to the packing of ice cream, is available as well.

Most of the films are minimally produced and appear to have been used for research and instruction as well as training. Container annotations also suggest that AREC faculty member R. Donald Langmo was involved with the creation of many of the items. Topically, the films cover a broad swath of activities including thinning and harvesting crops as well as receiving, weighing, washing, brining, freezing, packing and labeling agricultural products following their harvest. Individual films also appear to have been created to document the effectiveness of specific types of equipment and to examine the efficiency of particular workflows, especially those used to harvest fruit. Many of the films are set in Wenatchee, Washington, though other Oregon locations including Pendleton, Albany and Medford appear in the collection, as do Moro Bay and Tulare, California.

At least two finished productions are held among the collection's film reels: an item titled "Pea harvesting and brining" that was broadcast on television in June 1960, and a 1980 OSU Agricultural Experiment Station film titled "Strawberries for Tomorrow."

The collection's nine VHS cassettes document a series of lectures delivered by OSU professors and other regional experts during Winter term 1994 as part of the Agricultural and Resource Economics seminar course, "Economics and the Endangered Species Act" (AREC 407/507). Each lecture is presented by a different speaker and topics generally focus on the need to balance moral imperatives with economic considerations when developing policies related to the management of endangered species and their habitats.

Biographical / Historical Notes

Classes pertaining to agricultural economics were first taught at Oregon Agricultural College early in the 20th century as part of the Agronomy Department. In 1917 that department was divided into four separate ones; the Farm Management Department included the agricultural economics courses. Other classes in the subject area were also taught by Dr. Hector MacPherson in the School of Commerce. With the reorganization of higher education in Oregon in the early 1930s, the Oregon State College School of Agriculture in 1933 was divided into divisions, one of which was Agricultural Economics. E.L. Potter was appointed head of the division, as well as head of the Agricultural Economics Department formed within the division.

In 1949, the division system was abolished and the Farm Management Department was absorbed by the Agricultural Economics Department. Barton DeLoach served as the first chair of the combined department, but resigned shortly thereafter. Grant Blanch served as acting chair until 1951, when G. Burton Wood was appointed department chair. Wood served as department chair until 1966.

In 1974, the department name was changed to Agricultural and Resource Economics to reflect its broader role in research and teaching involving new technologies, rural population, income distribution, resource conservation and development, and international trade and development. In 2014 the department changed its name again, this time to Applied Economics, and began offering degrees in Agricultural Business Management and Environmental Economics and Policy.

Oregon native and OSC alum R. Donald Langmo began his teaching career at Oregon State College in 1948 as a member of the Industrial Engineering Department; a decade later, he switched his academic home to the Agricultural and Resource Economics Department. As a researcher, Langmo specialized in the study of industrial engineering as it applied to the harvest and processing of agricultural products. Langmo retired from OSU in 1994 and passed away in 2011 at the age of 92.

Series 1: Motion Picture Films, 1954-1980 Add to Shelf

Series 1 consists of 8-mm and 16-mm films documenting agricultural and processing methodologies as applied to a wide variety of crops. The series is comprised primarily of 3- and 3.5-inch reels, though 5-, 7- and 9-inch reels are present as well. The 3-inch reels are assumed to contain about 50 feet of footage. Other extent estimates are as follows: 3.5-inch reels, 75 feet; 5-inch reels, 200 feet; 7-inch reels, 400 feet; 9-inch reels, 700 feet.

In most instances, the description of a given item has been derived from annotations made to the packaging in which the reel was stored by its creators. In other cases, film footage has been analyzed to discern the contents of items that are lightly annotated or not described at all.
