Brown to Start Large Scale Chicken Farm in Local Area
Thorence F. E. Brown, who recently claimed land from Tom Malloy's homestead entry, plans to establish an extensive chicken operation here. After a trip to Tortland, he will return in about three months to set up, starting with 200 to 2000 hens and scaling to thousands as markets expand. Brown cites Petaluma as a model with large ranches and asserts this region could become a strong egg and chicken producing district for Northwestern markets. Local production already serves county markets, with limited outside sales from Shaniko and Crook County towns, but no prior outreach to broader markets.
