NEWS A10 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 2019 Easterday family plans to re-open Boardman dairy By GEORGE PLAVEN CAPITAL PRESS It’s been fi ve months since Lost Valley Farm closed and sold off its remaining herd of dairy cattle. The facilities have now been scrubbed clean, and the massive free-stall barns await their new tenants. Lost Valley’s owner had big ambitions when he opened the dairy in spring 2017 near Board- man. It was supposed to have 30,000 animals at full capac- ity, making it the second-largest in the state. Instead, it became a high-profi le disaster as regulators cited more than 200 wastewater violations and its owner declared bankruptcy within a year. Cody Easterday is aware of the controversy. At the same time, he believes the dairy will be success- ful with the right management and the right approach. Easterday Farms purchased the property, including the buildings and infrastructure, for $66.7 mil- lion in February. The cattle had been sold at auction separately. A new corporation, Easterday Farms Dairy LLC, was registered with the state on March 20. On July 1, Easterday Farms Dairy submitted an application to the Oregon Department of Agri- culture for a new Confi ned Ani- mal Feeding Operation permit, otherwise known by the acronym CAFO. The permit would allow Easterday Farms to reopen the George Plaven Cody Easterday, president of Easterday Farms, said he hopes to open Easterday Farms Dairy by fall 2020. dairy. Based in Pasco, Wash., East- erday Farms is a fourth-genera- tion, family-owned business with 70,000 head of beef cattle and 25,000 acres of potatoes, onions, grain and forage in the Columbia Basin. As president of Easterday Farms, Cody Easterday said the company plans to invest $15 mil- lion in the dairy, including comple- tion of a wastewater treatment sys- tem that was never fi nished under the previous owner and bringing the farm into full environmental compliance. “It’s a state-of-the-art dairy. It just needs to be fi nished, and it needs to have the correct man- agement,” Easterday said. “It will be a solid, environmentally sound dairy.” First dairy While Easterday Farms has decades of experience running ranches, farms and feedlots in Washington, this will be the fam- ily’s fi rst foray into the dairy industry. According to its CAFO appli- cation, Easterday Farms Dairy will have up to 28,300 cattle, though not all of those will be milking cows. The dairy lists 8,000 mature dairy cows and 2,650 dairy heif- ers housed under roof, along with 1,700 mature dairy cows and 5,950 heifers in open confi nement. Some 10,000 cattle will also be kept in open confi nement for beef production. “We’ve operated CAFOs in Washington,” Easterday said. “We understand it. We’re good, clean operators and we know what we need to do.” In Oregon, CAFOs are jointly regulated by the state Department of Agriculture and Department of Environmental Quality. Permits must include an Animal Waste Management Plan that describes how the farm will handle large amounts of manure without con- taminating groundwater or surface water. Easterday Farms Dairy expects to generate roughly 5.4 million cubic feet of liquid manure, 5.9 million cubic feet of solid manure and 11.7 million cubic feet of pro- cessed wastewater annually. That’s enough manure to fi ll 128 Olym- pic-size swimming pools. The dairy plans to recycle all that nitrogen-rich manure by using it as fertilizer on the surrounding farmland, growing irrigated crops such as potatoes, onions and wheat, as well as forage for cattle. Easter- day said the manure will be applied at agronomic rates on 5,390 acres of cropland.
