How We Irrigate Crops in the Idaho Desert | Wheel-Line Farming Explained

In Southern Idaho, we live in a high desert where annual moisture just isn’t enough to support crops — without irrigation, nothing grows. In this video, I break down how we get water from the river to the fields and the role wheel-lines play in that system. We start at the source: the irrigation canal that feeds into our farm. I explain how our pump station works to pressurize and move the water, and how that water is routed into our irrigation lines. Then I walk you through the day-to-day operation — from moving wheel-lines to “changing water,” a job that has to be done every single day to keep the crops healthy. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to grow food in a place that doesn’t get much rain, this is it. It’s labor-intensive, but it’s the backbone of how agriculture works out here. Stick around to see the process from start to finish — and why irrigation is everything for farmers in the West. #irrigation #wheelline #southernidaho #farminglife #agriculture #idahofarmer #desertfarming #cropirrigation #farmingtips
