Farm Equipment, Tri-County, Olson's Tractor and Hydraulics, irrigation
.businesses, trailer sales, local car dealerships, repair shops, and restaurants could
all see significant increased business opportunities which have been lost to La
Grande.
The rodeo arena in Baker City is another option with easy access to 1-84. Again,
it's a facility currently used just a few times a year.
Many generous ranchers contribute cows to thè local Beef for Schools Program.
Other expenses for shipping and processing remain. Perhaps a percentage or set
amount of each cow sold through such a sale could go toward paying those costs.
A regular sale would also give the Baker County CattleWomen and Cattlemen a
chance to promote the local beef industry and hold special events to help educate
those not associated with agriculture about the benefits of beef. It would provide
another opportunity for the promotion of existing events like Whit
Deschner's Great Salt Lick, the East West Shrine game and promotion of the
shrine steer, and perhaps events which have gone away like the Old Hand's
Contest, could see new life. It would offer another venue for local artists and
musical entertainers, and potentially give non-profits an opportunity to sell
concessions. 4-H and FFA members would have opportunities to market their
programs and hold fundraisers.
Residents could have access to local beef. For example, four could join together,
split the cost of the purchasing and processing a live cow, heifer or steer sold
through the sale (again helping local business), and have a quarter of beef which
has been raised right here in their freezer to feed their family. In a time when food
security is a concern for many, residents would know exactly from which local
ranch their beef originated.
Recently, I posted a photo I took of Tom Kerns herding a few head of cows
through Haines on the Record-Courier Facebook page. As of Tuesday, the photo
reached over 26,000 people, received 699 "likes" and 196 folks shared the photo
on their own Facebook page. I had mentioned the Haines Steak House in the
caption and multiple people made positive comments about their experience at
the Steak House. One woman said it had always been hér dream to be on a cattle
drive. Holding a small cattle drive through Haines as part of an event, could be
quite popular. Other agri-tourism opportunities abound which Janet Dodson of
North Powder is actively exploring.
In my opinion, a real opportunity to positively impact the local economy exists if
people are willing to step up, take the reins, and work together. It would be a lot
of work and there is much to consider, as in any worthy undertaking. A conversa­
tion with Baker County Economic Development could be worth having as funding
mechanisms through regional and state resources, may just be available. It
doesn't cost a dime to have the conversation or to brain storm with organizations
like the Haines Stampede, Baker County CattleWomen, Baker County Livestock
Association, and the Chamber of Commerce. Alice Trindle, Timothy Bishop and
