Miller-Owned Farms & Ranches
Dr. Miller and his family own 1,000 acres of ranch, farm, and timberlands in Idaho and Oregon, as well as a solar farm and hydroelectric power plant on the Snake River. These properties operate with the usual piece of farm equipment, including tractors, swathers, balers, rakes, planters, harvesters, tilling equipment, backhoes, skid steers, and ATVs. Crops produced include potatoes, alfalfa, sugar beets, barley for Coors and Budweiser, winter wheat, beans, carrots, and three types of corn: sweet, field, and silage corn. Dr. Miller’s ranch is also home to 300 registered black angus cattle. The solar farm project was completed in 2019, about two years after its initial conception. The solar farm is the largest in scale in Twin Falls County, Idaho.
These properties are available for various test or demonstration purposes of crops and equipment, and they are available for use by clients. We also use our contacts with our many local farmers to gather data about the equipment they buy and use. We are happy to make this connection to our farms available.
