The Oregon Department of Agriculture has approved an application by J-S Ranch to develop a broiler grow-out facility near Scio, OR. to supply Foster Farms
The plan calls for eleven houses with a capacity of approximately 48,000 birds to produce 3.4 million broilers annually. J-S Ranch is yet to receive a permit for handling storm-water.
The application was approved despite objections from landowners in the area based on the usual concerns of odor, traffic and environmental pollution.
