With the Morrow County Fair on the horizon, 4-H’ers are gearing up for show time, and the Threemile Canyon Farms Dairy Heifer Program participants are no exception. For the last few months, the participants have been learning all about their animals and how to care for them, and now their attention turns toward the show.
Threemile Canyon Farms has been producing high quality milk products for more than 20 years. While much about our operation has changed during that time, one principle has remained a steadfast priority: animal welfare.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, a new local volunteer effort arose to battle food insecurity in Boardman, and today it has blossomed into a community-wide mission to fight hunger and support families throughout the pandemic and well into the future.
Through an agreement between Threemile, The Nature Conservancy, Portland General Electric, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 23,000 acres were set aside to establish the Boardman Conservation Area (BCA), protecting one of the last undisturbed expanses of native shrub-steppe terrain in the Columbia River Basin.
