Running G Farm
13549 Fields Denio Rd, Fields
This Eastern Oregon Ranch has pride of ownership written all over it. The Running G Farm is located just north of the Nevada-Oregon border in a picturesque area in the high desert surrounded by vast amounts of mountain ranges & public grounds. The 640 deeded acres is nearly completely encompassed by BLM ground with 376 acres of water rights irrigated by two large wells.

The ground has sandy loam soil with a majority of the crops planted in alfalfa. Two pivots irrigate roughly 342 acres of the 376 acres of irrigation. The remaining irrigation is done by two small sets of wheel lines & strategically placed handlines to cover pivot corners. All the mainline are buried & interconnected to the two wells with a variable frequency drive.

Improvements are well kept & organized. The farm features a 1,512sqft manufactured home with 3 bedrooms & 1.75 bathrooms. A back patio provides beautiful scenery overlooking the irrigation fields & Trout Creek Mountains while the front has a large garden planted with a range of veggies, herbs, 2 apple trees, & a plum tree. A 2023 built metal framed shop includes a 20x14 oversized shop door for easy equipment access, 14x14 shop door, concrete floors, sheet siding, sheet roof, all of which is insulated & heated by a woodstove. Another shop built in the 70s is 1,600sqft with lean-to on the north & southern side provides great storage and cover for equipment. A stack yard is enclosed by a game fence & enough room for all the hay.

The location is a recreational dream as it is bordered by hundreds of thousands of public grounds. Nearby are attractions such as the Alvord Desert, Pueblo Mountains, Steens Mountain, Trout Creek Mountains, Fields Station, & more. The ground qualifies for up to 2 LOP tags in elk, antelope, & mule deer. Owners have harvested mule deer & antelope nearly every season.

Overall, this is a fantastic Eastern Oregon farm setup that is turnkey & extremely well put together. The Running G Farm has historically had high testing dairy hay with a combination of good farming practices, soils, water, & climate.

Irrigation
The irrigation mainlines are all buried & interconnected with the two high producing wells. The two wells have turbine pumps & are complemented with one variable frequency drive to optimize control on pressure. The two pivots are both Zimmatic with field net & field boss for quick response to issues. Some of the pivot corners are irrigated by either handlines or wheel lines.

The fields are mostly planted in alfalfa and have a good crop rotation to keep producing high quality hay & good yields. This is a great place for hay production due to the soils, water, & climate that have made this farm a pristine high-density setup. Current owner & past owners have been selling hay to the same Buyer for over 25 years.

Recreation
Surrounded by thousands of acres of BLM ground, the farm has plenty of recreation in the surrounding area. The Alvord Desert, Steens Mountain, Pueblo Mountain, Trout Creek Range, & more have many opportunities to horseback riding, ATV trails, mountain biking, backpacking, hunting, fishing, & more.

Alvord desert has been one of the most well-known places in the area with its attraction for wind surfing, camping under the stars, & driving around due to its large surface of flat dried lakebed. The Alvord Hot Springs are located off the desert providing a great space to soak up & Fields Station has great food as well as their Worlds Famous Milkshakes.

The irrigated alfalfa provides food & habitat for surrounding animals. Deer & antelope have been seen almost daily in the fields providing fantastic hunting opportunities to fill LOP tags. Big Horn sheep are found in the mountain ranges in the surrounding area. Quail, chukars, grouse, hawk, eagles, & more also can frequently been seen on the farm or nearby.
