Mystery of the Missing Methane Digester

Since their beginning, Threemile Canyon Farms has claimed that they will deal with their air pollution by installing a methane digester, which will power the complex and allow them to sell energy back to the grid.

But to date, there's no digester at Threemile Canyon Farms. Where is Threemile's methane digester?? We at the Apple Cart would like to know!

Not only is the methane digester missing, but we can't help but wonder what happened to the millions that went into assisting this mega complex in footing the bill. Read on and see the timeline of Threemile's missing methane digester.

Theemile at 30,000 feet

This past weekend, as I was flying home to Oregon, the clouds parted and I looked out to see Theemile Canyon Farms' factory dairy operation with 55,000 cows outside of Boardman, Oregon.

Despite the Greenwashing, from 30,000 feet you can see that this complex is nothing more than a factory and far from the "sustainable farm" image that Threemile's CEOs would like you to believe.

The Threemile mess is a blight on Oregon agriculture and our elected officials need to make sure that any future corporate factory farms that move into are state are adequately regulated to protect human health, the environment and property values.
