13 Oregon MSI Radar Build: Summer 2010 Willamette Valley Land looks heavily used, how likely is it to get a farmer to lease land to us? Travel to Eugene not so easy: No direct flights United: BOS-SFO-EUG ~ $700 Eugene to Corvallis – 1:03 drive More populated than East of the Cascade Range Lots of flat agricultural land Near OSU Travel is relatively easy: Southwest Airlines: MHT-PDX Alaska and AA: BOS-PDX $500-$600 Portland to Corvallis – 1:34 drive Likely that contractors are readily available
