Mowing Irrigated Alfalfa near Tremonton Utah 

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

what a beautiful tidy job that swathers makin, i like the uniformity of it it reeks of efficiency 👍🏻😉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Boy, that swather was moving! 10 or 12 miles an hour, maybe even faster? I guess he was determined to be home in time for dinner!

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

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!

Awesome. I live just west of Tremonton. Best farms in Utah throughout the valley.

Cool video Mike. Your all over the country. I appreciate your time and efforts to bring us these videos. Stay safe, have a good day. 👍😀

I could watch this all day. So satisfying.

That’s a first to see that kind of irrigation, we see lots of center pivots here in Iowa. Another great video Mike, keep em coming!

Thanks for coming back to Utah. I bet you were going to ask at 9:15 if anyone has ever fallen into the ditch. The answer is yes. Or at least I have. We used to irrigate this way, both here it Utah and in Arizona where I used to live. Lots of good farms up in Tremonton.

What a fantastic place to film Great looking crop and irritating systems Stay safe 👌 👍 👍

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!

nice modern agriculture

Wonderful pictures! Thanks for the video!😊👍🏻

That's an awesome turning circle.

The background looks awesome!😁👍 This is a great place to make a video👍😉 Thank you for sharing👍

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.

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’s one of your best videos Mike. 👍🇺🇸

My husband is the one in the red shirt 😊 Hansen Farms is a 5th generation farm, started by John T. Hansen, a son of Danish emigrants. The farm runs between 800-1000 acres, and does a lot of custom work, as well as running their own ground. We grow hay, wheat, corn, and safflower. Great-grandpa Lee and his son Albert used to grow sugar beets for the now defunct U&I sugar factory in Garland, Utah, and used to grow sweet corn, tomatoes, and green beans for Del Monte.

Great Video, loved the windrower, thanks for sharing

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

So satisfying to watch, good job 👍🏻

There is a cereal plant in Tremonton and at times the area smells like Fruit Loops. Mike: if you want to show some very fascinating, get with the State and have them you how they are dealing with the invasive phragamite problem around the bays of The Great Salt Lake. Super cool with big equipment, I am sure your subscribers would love it. Another would be to show the big dry farm operations just west of Tremonton, 10’s of 1,000’s of acres of wheat. They run some of the largest farm equipment to take on the huge farming task. (I grew up just down the road from Tremonton, Utah’s diverse landscapes are second to none. There are numerous types of farms and operations )

That irrigation method is very cool.

Didn’t know how they siphon irrigate, know I do, like the new content, thumbs up

Good video.

Shout out from Brantford Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 🙌 👏 👌 😎

THAT WAS AMAZING VIDEO 👍🇺🇸

Man ! That is a smoooooooooth riding machine. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦👍👍👍

I like that dark green alfalfa. Going to make good feed. That is quite the irrigation system. Thank you for the video update eh

Amazing irrigation system! Never seen that before.

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

That is some good looking alfalfa 👍🚜

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

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

Wow very cool mower

Come up to Cache Valley and come play up in our fields. Another great video.

Cool work Mike keep at it bro

3:40 🤣😂yeah mike you did ,and yes it sure is. This machine does a clean job ,impressive

Great to see thank you.

I like your videos, from the imperial co California.

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.

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.

Simple, but genius technique.

I’ve been driving Hwy 19 in Caldwell Idaho for years and just a couple of days ago I finally noticed the local Versatile dealer. I never knew.

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

Super vidéo ! Vers qu'elle vitesse de travail roule-t-il ?

you like Versatile Tractors right ... I've been hauling rock up and down 63 in Iowa all day and noticed an old 4WD Versatile sitting along side the HWY north of HWY 3 :)

That was some awesome good looking alfalfa and background scenery, Mike! Is the disk mower more efficient than the old sickle bar? Or is it just more resilient? Absolutely great video, Mike!

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

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.

Is the hay irrigated the same way as the corn is?

Wish I could mow my yard that fast. He’s moving. I have been looking for a 16’ deck for my 318. No luck so far

Hi Mike - the irrigation is very interesting have the fields been graded away from the ditch to allow the flow of water.

WOW.-O-WOW

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

My ancestor came to Australia, his sister went to live in USA .From England , she took a wagon train west to Logan Cache, just east of this place.mid 1800s Wright- Brown- Laddle- Pitcher families I think she converted to being a Mormon, or quaker, or something like that. My family didnt go into religion here in Australia

Hi my name is ronald and I was just letting you know that is my hometown

You didn't mention the beautiful reeeed swather!

Its like this person is dancing with that cutter.

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

How long did they say they water for?

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

I love tremonton utah

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

I live in tremoton it is a nice place

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

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???🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨

What happens when de irrigated water is gone?

👍👍

Cows be like :yum

Wow the driver is cooking bro 👍 i worked the soybean corn and sunflower harvest for years in North Dakota in a 9650

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

👍💪

Wow have you ever seen such a beautify crop of alfalfa???

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

Here in Sinaloa we irrigate like tath

First cutting?

As well as Malt-o-meal in Tremonton there is a hay press just west of Bear River City that re-bails hay for export. Bailey Farms. If you travel into Idaho , east of the freeway I84 from the Idahome exit is a dairy that covers more than a section with cattle Idaho Jersey Girls. They have an indoor feed mixing building with a drive over bridge so semis can unload directly into the bunks as loaders are scooping out ration mixes. here is a video that shoes some of the operation. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kmutrzPyx0Q.html

That's cool what yr

What are they getting for nice hay like that??$$

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

Hi how much this machine

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

What is that slow spinning thing behind the machine? Like in 4:08 and 5:43

First!

👍👍👍

Where do you get the specs on the equipment you film?

He must be going 15 to 20 miles an hour

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

Those are drag race speeds..wabbits look out.

A buncha kids inhaled arsenic for this

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 👍

Cool work Mike keep at it bro
