THREE GENERATIONS OF ALFADALE IN ARTESIA, NEW MEXICO.
What began with Bill Netherlin working hay ground and cattle near Artesia has become a four-part operation—and a third generation is learning how to carry it forward.
The Alfadale story
THE NAME ON THE BUSINESS IS THE FAMILY BEHIND THE WORK.
Alfadale started with alfalfa ground and cattle near Artesia. Bill Netherlin learned what the Pecos Valley soil and water would do by working it—not by studying it from somewhere else. When a cutting was ready, the weather mattered. When livestock depended on him, showing up mattered. That was the first business plan.
The operation expanded into crops, caliche and a commercial-water network serving oilfield, construction, agricultural, industrial and other commercial work. Each new line came from the same place: knowing the ground, recognizing a real need and standing behind the answer.
Today, a third generation is growing into Alfadale alongside the generations that built it. The equipment and scale have changed. The expectation has not: do what you said you would do, and treat people like you plan to see them again.

What three generations carry
NOT JUST AN OPERATION. A WAY OF WORKING.
Keep your word
A customer should know who is accountable, get a straight answer and be able to reach that person again.
Leave it stronger
Each generation adds capability while protecting the relationships and reputation handed to the next.
2003 → TODAY
HOW ONE KIND OF WORK OPENED THE DOOR TO THE NEXT.
Alfalfa first
Hay ground in the Pecos Valley, cut and baled on the dew, sold to whoever needed dependable feed.
Cattle on the same grass
A ranch alongside the farm—yearlings and weaned calves eating hay put up a mile away.
Cotton and row crops
The operation widened as the ground, the water and the market allowed.
Caliche for working roads
Local caliche supplied for lease roads and well pads across the same country.
Water for commercial operations
Five mapped load-out stations and more than 100 miles of operational infrastructure moving commercial water across northern Eddy County.
