It’s been an odd spring. With that said, the only thing that’s consistent in the Klamath Basin is the fact the weather and seasons are never consistent. The extremely mild winter combined with the warmer temps of this spring are greening our winter wheat and alfalfa crops. While the already-planted crops are putting the grow on, our other grain […]
Is It The Running Y Ranch Or Running Y Lake?
Last fall doesn’t seem very far away. The fields at the Running Y Ranch were busy, full of equipment cutting hay and grain and getting the fields ready to dig potatoes. Before long bulkers were filling spud trucks, which headed to Malin to store the potatoes for shipping season. Occasionally, the ground would seem to […]
We Have Farm Equipment For Sale!
Since harvest wrapped up, we’ve been looking around our equipment yard and found a few things we’d like to sell. So, if you check out our Equipment Sales Pages, you’ll notice we’ve added a few things over the last couple of weeks. If you happen to be looking for a bulker, a belt trailer or […]
Holiday Time At Gold Dust!
There’s a little snow left on the ground and the steady hum of a packing shed on the outskirts of Malin. Yes, it’s definitely shipping season. It’s also the holiday season at Gold Dust and Walker Brothers! Things kicked off with the Leadership Dinner on Saturday, the 14th at Mr. B’s in Klamath Falls. Gold […]
Organic Potatoes? Yeah, We Grow ‘Em
If you’ve been to the grocery store lately, you’ve probably noticed the organic produce section has steadily been increasing its territory. Consumers are becoming more concerned about what they eat, and more and more they’re dropping organic items in their grocery carts. As farmers, we’ve noticed this trend for years, hence adding organic hay […]
The Fields In July
The summer sun and the click-clacking of sprinklers in the fields make July one of the greenest months in the Klamath Basin – despite the lack of precipitation. Thunder storms have threatened to drop rain, but in the end the clouds dissipate or head in a different direction. However, as long as we can irrigate, […]
Happy Independence Day!
Everyone at Gold Dust Potatoes and Walker Brothers would like to wish you, your family and your friends a very happy Fourth of July. We also ask that as you celebrate the holiday, to take a moment and think about the brave men and women who fought to make this country the bastion of freedom […]
Chipping Potatoes And Grain Are In The Ground!
During the hustle and bustle of shipping season, spring farming began, making the months of March, April and May some of our busiest months of the year. And as quietly as it began, last month, wheat and potato planting came to an end. This year, our crops include chipping potatoes (of course!), wheat, barley, alfalfa […]
We Have Equipment For Sale!
From time to time, we decide to upgrade our equipment or thin out our collection of farming implements. As a result, we have farm equipment to sell! We just added a 2005 Spudnik 6400 potato harvester to our Equipment Sales pages (look under Potato Equipment). This bulker has always been stored inside and comes with […]
Happy Holidays From Gold Dust!
Snow is on the ground and cheer is in the air. It looks quite a bit like Christmas around the Klamath Basin. The holiday spirit is alive and well at Gold Dust! Last Thursday (December 20th), if you visited the offices at the shed you may have noticed some of the office staff were dressed […]
