BOARDMAN, Ore. – Easterday Ranches, a company based out of Pasco, faces two lawsuits and bankruptcies.
Their affiliate, Easterday Farms Dairy, LLC, however, wants to bring 28,700 head of cattle to Boardman, Oregon, to open a dairy farm.
In light of the legal battle, the coalition, Stand Up to Factory Farms, has spoken out against the move.
“The Easterday’s bought the facility and the land for $66.7 million with plans to open another 30-thousand cow mega-dairy,” Emma Newton, with the coalition said.
Stand Up to Factory Farms is made up of various local, state and national organizations that are concerned over the impact that “mega-dairies on Oregon’s family farms, communities, environment and animal welfare,” according to their website.
