We appreciate the quality onions our growers provide and the hard work our employees do every day. Jamieson Produce is owned by Doug and Terrie Maag and managed by Jeff Stubbs.
Y-1 Farms is located in Jamieson, Oregon and is owned by Doug and Terrie Maag and Corey and Mandi
Maag. Various row crops such as onions, sugar beets, silage corn, alfalfa, and wheat are grown on
nearly 2000 acres. The feed crops are used to provide feed for the feedlot they operate. Up to 12,000
head of cattle can be fed at Y-1 Farms. Y-1 Farms was established in 1985 but the Maag Family was

farm. We are extremely grateful for our employees and the hard work they provide.
