  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Dr Vinay Pagay Author: Southern Oregon Research and Extension Center (Or.), Maureen Battistella, Philip VanBuskirk Year: 2014 The Southern Oregon Research and Extension Center (SOREC) is recognized throughout Southern Oregon for its deep commitment to and support of agricultural research, sustainable growing practices, humane animal husbandry and healthy living. Historically, SOREC consists of the Jackson County Extension Service and the Southern Oregon Experiment Station. Both of SOREC’s units serve as the front door to Oregon State University, Oregon’s Land Grant University, and its resources. In addition to its support of farming and ranching, SOREC maintains demonstration fields, and also runs community programs such as Master Gardeners, 4-H, Food Preservers, Land Stewards. SOREC staff was instrumental in the growth of the pear industry in Southern Oregon and spearheaded the emergence of grape growing and wine making in the 1970s and 1980s. The Southern Oregon Experiment Station was established in 1911, and was located south of Phoenix at the Jackson County Poor Farm where the Dog Pound is located today. There were three other local Experiment Stations until 1958 when all were combined and relocated to the current Hanley Road location. The Extension office was first located in 1914 in the basement of the Jackson County Courthouse, later moving to Maple Grove Drive in south Medford, next to the old Fair Grounds. When the county began development of the south Medford I5 interchange in 1994, the Extension was moved to the Hanley Road location.

  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Quail Run Vineyards, purchased in 1989 by Don and Traute Moore Author: MJ Daspit; Eric Weisinger, South Stage Cellars (Or.) Don and Traute Moore purchased the original 13 acres of Quail Run Vineyards in 1989. They began experimenting with varietals and expanded over the years to 10 vineyards totaling 280 acres in several diverse micro-climates of the Rogue Valley. Quail Run produces over 20 varietals, most of which go to make award-winning wines produced by Willamette Valley wineries. The Moore established an estate label, South Stage Cellars with a 2006 Merlot and expanded to 7 varietals the following year, all custom made by Joe Dobbs of Dundee, Oregon. The South Stage Cellars tasting room opened in 2008 in an 1865 stone building in the historic town of Jacksonville. About 25 wines are available to taste, many bearing labels from wineries to the north, but all made from the Moores’ grapes.
