practices. 'Business as usual' really has no
meaning at Threemile."
Myers's touted vision was not merely
operational, however. It included a
clear picture of what it means to be
a member of the community. Since its
inception, Threemile Canyon Farms has
been a visible and committed member
of the Boardman and greater Morrow
County community. Under Myers's
leadership, the farm began programs to
regularly donate food to the local food
bank, provide a staging site for the local
fire department, and support programs
for youth interested in agriculture.
Along with his leadership of
Threemile Canyon Farms, Myers served
as a commissioner of the Oregon
Potato Commission and Oregon
Dairy Nutrition Council, as well as
on the board of the Oregon Business
Association, The Freshwater Trust, Potato
Growers of Washington and the Oregon
Board of Agriculture. At the time of
his passing, he was serving as chairman
of the board for Potatoes USA. As of
this writing, the Oregon legislature is
considering passage of a joint resolution
honoring Myers and his contributions to
the state and the ag industry.
