Dog Mountain Farms

This is truly one of the nicest alfalfa hay farms in Harney County. Most of the soils are sandy loam and the owner has been proactive in water management which they have installed a Precision Mobile Drip Irrigation (PMDI) on 5 pivots plus has oversized most of the main lines to reduce friction losses. The crops have been regularly rotated for good production. All of the improvements and roads show pride of ownership and are in excellent condition. There is a private cinder pit for the roads. The improvements include 4 hay sheds of which 3 are sided, 2 manufactured homes for farm labor and a custom-built main house, large shop with pull through doors and an office. This hay farm is turn-key. A complete package with over 1000 acres of some of the oldest water rights in the valley.
