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

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.
