BOARDMAN, Ore. — Threemile Canyon Farms has hired a new president following the unexpected death of founder and gen- eral manager Marty Myers in December 2020. Bill Antilla, of Longview, Wash., was selected to lead the operation, which includes Oregon’s largest dairy and 39,500 acres of cropland. His first day was Aug. 9.

Class 2 officials found that Geb- bers workers who lived in company housing were less likely to become infected with COVID than those who lived in the community. Gebbers has agreed to demolish and replace its older housing, built in the 1970s. It also promised to put up a cell tower, upgrade electrical outlets, install air conditioners, buy new mat- tresses and put up signs directing first responders to farmworker housing. The company also agreed to pay for a soccer field and picnic tables and benches. potatoes, onions, blueber- ries, carrots and other crops. The farm also grows alfalfa, hay and triticale for animal feed, which goes back to feed the dairy cows, thus completing the closed loop. R.D. Offutt CEO Tim Curoe said Antilla’s lengthy career in agribusiness and food processing, combined with his love of the Pacific Northwest, make him uniquely qualified to serve Threemile Canyon and build on its strong foundation of sustainable agriculture. Antilla has a bachelor’s degree from Carleton Col- lege in Northfield, Minn., and a master’s of business administration from the Uni- versity of Chicago Booth School of Business. He has a wife and two grown chil- dren, and will be relocating from Minnesota to Oregon.

Threemile Canyon Farms hires new president S255940-1 Oregon’s Polk County correctly rejected a proposal to rezone 228 acres of farm- land to allow for 10-acre home sites, according to a state land use ruling. The county government relied on sufficient evidence to determine that an excep- tion to the state land use goal of farmland preserva- tion wasn’t justified, the Land Use Board of Appeals said. Simmons Family Prop- erties, one of the land- owners that petitioned for the rezone, hasn’t proven that farming and forestry are impractical on the 228 acres because the property is “irrevocably committed” to other non-resource uses, according to LUBA. Simmons argued that most surrounding properties have single-family dwell- ings and 77% are already smaller than 10 acres, but failed to refute the county’s finding that its 4-square- mile “study area” was too large, the ruling said. Because the 4-square- mile study area was “too expansive,” the county instead analyzed land uses on 14 parcels directly adja- cent to the 228-acre prop- erty. Studying these 14 par- Gebbers Farms will spend more than $2 mil- lion on farmworker housing, medical care and recreation to settle a fine levied by the Washington Department of Labor and Industries, the state agency announced Wednesday. Gebbers has agreed to spend $1.4 million to upgrade worker housing; $513,000 to support local health care facilities, day cares and recreation centers; and $150,000 on a safety officer to oversee the com- pany’s safety programs for the next three years. The fine, which origi- nally was $2,051,400, was reduced to $10,000. “Because a court could not order Gebbers to make these changes, this is a better result for workers than we could achieve through liti- gation,” L&I Director Joel Sacks said in a statement. L&I issued the fine after two inspections last year cels wasn’t improper and the county wasn’t required to consider more distant land uses as a “relevant fac- tor,” according to LUBA. Wayne Simmons, prin- cipal of Simmons Family Properties, said he’s cur- rently leaning against chal- lenging LUBA’s ruling before the state’s Court of Appeals because he fears it would be a waste of money, but hasn’t made a final decision. If the land was rezoned, the plan was to build “multi-million dollar houses” on 22 parcels on “some of the best view property in the entire Wil- lamette Valley,” Simmons said. Despite the county’s and LUBA’s decisions, Sim- mons said the property isn’t suitable for commercial agriculture or forestry due to its rocky, shallow soils and high elevation. “We’re stuck with a hill- top that has no value,” he said. Pinot noir grapes wouldn’t be productive on the property and other vari- etals haven’t been shown to be profitable, Simmons said. The property’s impracti- cality for forestry and agri- culture was supported by expert testimony that was ignored by the county, he said. “They had no facts to show why they voted the way they did.” The 4-square-mile study area encompassed urban areas to show the property was impractical for farming and forestry, said Jasmine Zimmer-Stucky, working lands engagement manager for the 1,000 Friends of Oregon farmland preserva- tion group.
