that's a good thing!

 

fabmandelux, you need some rain out there in the high desert plains? I think we might have some we could give you.

 

we have a lot to spare also!

 

No thanks guys, I like my desert just fine!

 

Come on, add a little color out there, green is in this year.

 

We've got our 10 inches for the YEAR, crops are nice and green, that's enough for me!lol.......

 

what do you get in the desert for annual rain fall?

 

10 to 12 inches...............

 

What kind of crops, cactus? I'd hate to be the migrant worker that has to pick those.

 

we get that much in spring alone!

 

No cactus here. To far North, and to cold in the winter. We grow mostly Wheat. Most farms around here are 9 to 10 THOUSAND acres. We do have a large irrigated farm here that farms 185,000 acres of corn, wheat, beans, potatos, mint, etc..............Oh, and they also have 180,000 dairy cows!

From last years wheat harvest.

 

Learn something new every day. Could probably fit most of the farms in Vermont acreage wise onto your farm. Do you work on it or actually own it. Sounds like you work there if you get a day off.

 

those farms are huge!

 

Oregon is a large state. Over 80,000 Sq Miles!
I live on 3,000 acres that is no longer a farm. This land is in CRP and the owners get payed $50/Acr to NOT farm it..........The land I live on is owned by long time family friends that live out of state, and we take care of it for them. We pay 0$ to live here. I own a company called Farm Service Co. We work on farm and logging equipment in the field and at their shops. I design and build specialized equipment for farms, logging companys, and 2 gold mines.


Not to many people out here............

Lots of open land

 

Wow, that is cool. Do you have many employees or just your self? They actually use bulldozers in the fields? Seems like a big tractor would be more efficient and less items to wear. But from your perspective though that is good for your business.
