How a Pendleton Boy Made Good in Alfalfa Empire
A Fort Worth Curtis Star profile of LL FE McBee, a Pendleton youth who bought a 15,000 acre Willow Creek ranch in Oregon, turned sagebrush into an alfalfa field, built irrigation, and created a lasting farm enterprise.

His success came after skepticism, debt avoidance, and steady work transforming brush into wealth.
