Mowing Irrigated Alfalfa near Tremonton Utah

You didn't mention the beautiful reeeed swather!

Here in Sinaloa we irrigate like tath

Those are drag race speeds..wabbits look out.

Interesting irrigation...do they fill the ditch from tankers or is that natural?...

Yooouuu.... WHAT Sapien!! UTAH.. SALUDOS FROM : "THE BRONX "
NEW YORK CITY.. thank you for the video...good job... you see this job from Satellite .. I know.

Excuse-me !! my question is , this guy ( the operators) hop GPS..in the tractor ?

What's the trick to such smooth fields and lack of gophers?

First cutting?

Great idea for irrigation! Are the fields sloped for water flow?

Doesn't get better than farming in Utah along the Wasatch Front - thanks for the video around Tremonton

I'm surprised no one has tried dry beans, like pintos or reds in Tremonton. Hi from Burley.

Wow very cool mower

Cows be like

:yum

You should try and get up to the Columbia Basin in Washington State. Grant County raises more potatoes than any county in the country. That would be around Moses Lake.

So satisfying to watch, good job 👍🏻

Dude looked like he had some serious hours doin that. Smooth is fast, fast is smooth.

Good video.

Great to see thank you.

Is this the same farm / machine recovered by Winder towing in their video?

It's an hour and a half from my house in the Salt Lake Valley, about 45 minutes from Ogden.

I had no idea that you made it out this way. I love watching the videos and sorry i missed out on seeing you come out this way. We have some great farmers out here that do a great job!

Is a beautiful place. I spent about a year out there in the 80's. Don't let the nutty Mormons convince you there's Marlin in the lake. Seen it happen no joke. lol

Great video. I more or less grew up in the Mesilla Valley and use to enjoy watching the farmers run their swathers in the irrigated alfalfa fields. I really miss the smell of fresh cut alfalfa as well. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. 👍

EDIT: I’ve never seen the siphon method before. I learned something new!

grew up doing this - only 1 - 1 inch tube per row.

Ah yes they’re also shrinking the Great Lake of Utah, and the the winds are kicking up arsenic laced dust where the waters used to be, affecting wildlife and the community. Great job growing farms in the desert dude 👍

I live in tremoton it is a nice place

we want this machine in india
any one can help me ?

Can almost smell the Alfalfa. Ranks right up there with freshly plowed ground.

Great video Mike. Better then the last swather I ran years ago. I operated a CaseIH 8840 with a 16 foot header real type slow work and long days

That siphon irrigation is the best trick i would have never thought of.

That's cool what yr

2022 WATER ABUNDANCE OR WATER SHORTAGES IN UTAH?
TRAPPABLE WATER RESOURCES CLOSE BY

According to a report made by Senator Oren Hatch many years ago, there is a large body of underground water in “The Grand Stair Case”, as well as a lot of clean Coal. The data said that there was/is enough water there, that if used for the cultivation of crops, would feed one-third of the worlds population. It also indicated, there was enough Clean-Coal there to supply the WORLDS needs for 200 years. Further on water supplies, there is an underground Aquifer that comes out of Canada and travels to California, via Montana, Idaho and through the Utah/Nevada State line area. Ultimately, it is said to travel underground to California and then empties into The Sea of Cortex, Mexico. It carries a volume of fresh clean water equal to the Amazon River flow in South America.

With long-standing problems of drought, these resources are relatively close by and usable, with a bit of work, cost, gumption and ingenuity. The Great-Salt-Lake drying up might also be renewed with either body of precious water and a use of massive Permaculture type tree planting, to encourage the moisture to stay for our future.

nice modern agriculture

A buncha kids inhaled arsenic for this

I could watch this all day. So satisfying.

One of the best dairymen in Utah was just down the road a little way from there in Corrine Utah. John Noyes. He was the first farmer I ever witnessed putting up 5 crops of alfalfa per year in Utah. He was cutting hay every 28-30 days. His fields were cut in the morning, chopped in the afternoon, and water put back on the field by sunset, or the next morning at the latest. Sometimes water was started on one end of the field before the field was even completely chopped. Probably the highest protein tests I have ever seen.
Sadly John passed some years ago, but I believe his son is still there turning hay into milk and fertilizer

How do they get 16' of hay in a windrow to dry ?

What happens when de irrigated water is gone?

Great Video, loved the windrower, thanks for sharing

Nice! I was born in Tremonton in 1956. Been back once.

Its like this person is dancing with that cutter.

Greetings from Arkansas. I grew up about a mile or so from that field. Recognized the house, the road, and those mountains. Thanks for enhancing my homesickness! Only one thing: If it was like any of the hay work I did, I'm surprised they didn't have at least one break down. Oh, wait. That comes with the baler. Good to see alfalfa again. Everything here in Arkansas looks like meadow hay. I have yet to see an alfalfa field anywhere in northwest Arkansas. Great video. thanks.

What is the stick that is spinning around in the circle on the back of that mower and what is it used for and what's the purpose of it???🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨

I grew up farming alfalfa in northern Nevada. This brought back some memories. Thanks for posting.

Gives me anxiety watching them run over the end rows. 😂 We have an alfalfa farm in Utah and always cut, dry, bale and haul away the end rows a couple days before the rest of the fields. It’s a lot cleaner.

👍💪

Hi how much this machine

Those are the Wellsville mountains! Citizen created wilderness in the heart of big ranch country. Don’t move here but yes it is the pretties t country in the west imho

I could easily watch a full hour of those mowers mowing

why is the video quality so low?
