Bonanza, OR 97623 - Klamath County

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, it is 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 of approximately 36 feet, translating 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 operates with one employee due to its highly efficient irrigation system. To ensure the highest production level, the owner has adhered to a strict annual rotation of all alfalfa stands. 

Farm consistently produces 6 tons to the acre, getting as high as 7.5 tons in optimal weather years. Lying in the Pacific Flyway, this farm consistently draws in thousands of migrating ducks and geese yearly. 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 trickle into the alfalfa fields in the early evening to enjoy the high-protein alfalfa.
