SALEM, ORE. – A bankruptcy judge has said the U.S. Justice Department can take over the management of the second-largest dairy in Oregon.
Judge Fredrick Clement issued his decision last Wednesday on the future of Lost Valley Farm, a massive dairy farm permitted to house up to 30,000 cows, the Statesman Journal reported.
