Pronghorn Paradise Farms lies in the highly productive Yonna Valley, just
northwest of Bonanza and 20 miles east of Klamath Fall, Oregon. Once a potato
farm, now a highly productive alfalfa/grain operation. This high desert farm
produces high test dairy quality alfalfa, due to the low humidity summer weather
and mostly sandy loam soil. Hay is mostly sold to Central Valley California dairies
and exported overseas. New buyers will be given contact if interested.
This highly efficient farm operates off of two wells with a static water level
at approximately 36 feet, which translates into a pumping cost of $82 per acre for
the season. The 400Hp well is operated by a Variable Speed Drive to optimize
power and labor efficiency. This farm has operated with one employee due to the
highly efficient irrigation system in place.

Owner has adhered to a strict annual rotation of all alfalfa stands to ensure
the highest level of production. Farm consistently produces 6 tons to the acre,
getting as high as 7.5 tons on optimal weather years.
Lying in the Pacific Flyway, this farm consistently draws in thousands of
migrating ducks and geese each year. In addition to these migratory birds, the
property is home to Pronghorn antelope. This exotic species can be seen roaming
the property throughout summer and into late August, during archery season. Mule
deer can also be seen, trickling into the alfalfa fields in early evening, to enjoy the
high protein alfalfa.
