Every time I come to this place I am just in awe at how huge it it. A wide variety of apple trees as far as the eye can see. Off in the distance is the Snake River which supplies water to this massive Apple orchard. Guess how the water gets there??? Big electric pumps, you know around the 4200 horsepower type. There are bigger ones but that is what is used to water this orchard, along with a few 800-1000 HP booster pumps to assist in the water delivery.

This time of year is the time when these farmers do maintenance on their pumps. Rewiring, replacing, upgrading, or just some general maintenance. So they contact us so we can go and de-energize their service so they can work on it safely. That is where I come in, and how I get some pretty cool info about these places.

That apple orchard looks like heaven. Dandays and I have been on a major apple eating frenzie. Who knew they were so flipping delicious 🤷🏼‍♀️ Haha
