Gheen Irrigation Works is a manufacturer of a wide variety of steel fittings for farm, commercial, and industrial use as well as custom powder coating and hot dip galvanizing. We've been manufacturing irrigation fittings in Eugene, Oregon since 1933. Our fittings are used in the transmission of water and the irrigation of crops all over the world.
If you don't have irrigation, you can't have beans. This agricultural truth was expressed recently by Leo Gaskill in describing the dilemma that Robert Lee Gheen found when he wanted to grow beans on his six-acre Willagillespie Road farm after moving to Eugene from California in 1931. Gaskill, who was a neighbor, said that Gheen's property was not far from the slough that ran from Willagillespie to Country Club Road (near the present Valley River Center). Many farmers used the slough to irrigate their crops by flooding, but Gheen's farm was at too high an elevation for that.
