At the turn of the century,  Ed Kaseberg bought a farm from his brother-in-law and sister, William and Lizzie Bennett.   In 1925  his son Lawrence "Pat" returned from Oregon State College to take over the farm.  Wheat was the main crop grown. Due to low annual moisture a 2 year fallow rotation was used, land was in crop one year and fallow the next.

Through the years more land was added and the ranch became known as Wheatacres Ranch.  Pat Kaseberg was an innovative farmer,  and was one of the first in the area to try bulk storage,  building his first elevator at the home place in 1939.  In 1948, a second elevator was built, and in the same year  the elevator  at the home place received the addition of  a seed cleaner and treater.   This allowed the Kasebergs to produce their own wheat seed, which in turn kept weeds and disease at a minimum.

Pat was one of the first farmers in the area to use trashy fallow farming.  Keeping erosion to a minimum was the goal, and trashy fallow farming offered a way to do this.  Pat's son,  Larry bought his first Registered Angus cow in 1946 in Amboy, Washington.   This was the start of a new enterprise on Wheatacres Ranch.

Larry returned home from college in 1958.  In the 1960's  Wheatacres Ranch leased Miller Island on the Columbia River.  The island provided pasture. Cattle were transported to and from Miller Island on a military Dukw.  Larry has worked closely with Oregon State University wheat breeders through the years,  having experimental plots on the ranch every year.  Always looking for an alternative, Larry experimented with a variety of crops.

1970 was the beginning of another enterprise for the Kaseberg family.  Wheatacres Irrigation was started in a garage on the ranch, and soon gained reputation as the area's supplier for all your irrigation needs.  The store moved to The Dalles, Oregon in 1995 and is currently run by Larry and his son, Cameron.

Larry's son, Chris graduated from Oregon State University and returned home in 1988.  By 1992, cattle had been phased out and market hogs were incoporated into the daily operations of the ranch. Chris leased the farm from his parents in 1992 and has continued the innovative practices of his ancestors.   He works closely with wheat breeders from Oregon State University and has added field corn, fall canola, and spring mustard crops to the current rotation of wheat and barley.

With his wife Carrie, Chris has also experimented with small acreage's of strawberries and garlic.  In addition to the trashy fallow farming, he added No-Till farming to Wheatacres Ranch in 1998.  Chris also experiments with annual cropping, and crop rotations in the continued fight against weeds and disease.  The livestock on the ranch has also ungone recent changes, currently Red Angus cattle have been added while the market pigs have been phased out.
