Dr. Clinton Shock, Cost competitive hemp production for cannabinoids

March 2023

Dr. Clinton C. Shock, PhD in Plant Physiology, University of California, Davis; Professor Emeritus Oregon State University; Certified Professional Horticulturalist. Clint has enthusiasm for plants and seeks to use science and education to solve horticultural, environmental,economic, and social problems. His research has developed economically viable options that are voluntarily implemented by growers. As Director of an Oregon State University experiment station from 1984 to 2018 he headed cooperative efforts to improve growers’ yields and profitability while simultaneously correcting environmental problems. His work resulted in drip irrigation technology options for onion growers and improved groundwater quality in the Treasure Valley of Oregon and Idaho.Clint has studied thewater use requirements of many crops and crop yield and quality responses to carefully managed irrigation. He has supported professionally several watershed councils since their inception.These councils have designed, funded, and implemented over a hundred diverse watershed restoration projects. Clint has envisioned and generated win-win solutions to problems such as credit and market access for poor growers in the Brazil, revegetation in the Amazon, “sugar end” of potato in the Pacific Northwest of the US, and groundwater contamination and irrigation induced erosion in the Treasure Valley. In China Clint helps drip irrigation research. Currently Clint is conducting horticultural research and breeding on medicinal crops.
