Jackson Fork @jackson-fork - Tumblr Blog

Hello! I'm the person that runs the hay derrick blog, and this is my side blog where I get a little silly with it. While I want my hay derrick blog to be an academic/archival resource, this is a space where I can get as personal as I'd like with the subject.

If you have any questions or want any information, my main blog on the subject is @hayderricks

Tags:

my quest: posts about my ongoing derrick search.

extras: posts adding context with information about how I found certain derricks or what larger trends they represent.

ramblings: general stuff.

meme: self explanatory.

My Current Derrick Statistics

As of today I have found 77 derricks.

52 derricks are still standing.

5 derricks are just remains.

20 derricks are fully dead.

When it comes to location statistics:

39 derricks are in Idaho.

23 derricks are in Utah.

7 derricks are in Oregon.

3 derricks are in Montana.

2 derricks are in Nevada.

1 derrick is in Washington.

1 derrick in Colorado.

Outside of the 77 confirmed, I have 5 possible locations of varying certainty, 2 under investigation, and around 25 photos of derricks I am attempting to locate.

In honor of Pioneer Day, I'll share some paintings from my unfinished Hay Derrick series. Many pioneers farming hay would have utilized these starting in the late 1800s, with some remaining in use until the 1970s.

Jerome, 2026

Monroe, 2026

Paisley, 2026

Hopefully the next three images, tentatively titled Baker, Fillmore, and Meridian, will be finished by the end of the year.

All paintings are based off of real derricks, standing or fallen.

"George Roskelley on hay Derrick", posted by Donya Gardiner Harvey on the Cache Valley Memories facebook group, May 8, 2019.

This is my favorite historical derrick photo. Not only is it very silly, it demonstrates the scale of the derrick and the stack next to a person. The top of the derrick is also very interesting, seeming to have been extended several feet.

Based on his genealogical record, George lived from 1888-1958. I'd estimate the photo was taken sometime between 1910-1930, but that's just a guess. The photo was posted as part of a promotional post for the Smithfield Historical Society, and multiple family members in the comments were happy to see it.

In the past year I've started a painting series of hay derricks, with each one being based off of specific derricks. While only 3/5 were finished before I lost momentum, I'll be sharing them over the next bit, and will hopefully finish the series by the end of the year.

This derrick is no longer standing, and can be seen from the 2014 street view of 144 W Center St, Beaver, Utah.

This in another example of a very common phenomena. Many out-of-use hay derricks have been converted into power poles on farms, getting replaced later down the line by real poles. If you look on the google view of this site now, there is a regular pole there now. I've seen mentions of people using them for this in the past, and another dead derrick in Nevada was given the same treatment.

Love this barn near Melba. Photo by Kim Allen-Cameron, posted on facebook, January 16, 2024.

The derrick and barn are still standing, and can be seen at 2645 County Line Rd, Melba, ID.

Finding this derrick was a major triumph. I knew it was in Melba and near the hills. I was able to use the green building on the left and blue silo on the right to triangulate the location. Derricks can blend in when looking top down, so sometimes I have to use creative methods to find them.

While this is the first derrick I've located with a tire swing, this isn't an isolated phenomenon. I've heard multiple stories of people recollecting using old derricks as swings, though this seems to have fallen out of favor in recent years due to safety concerns. This practice is mirrored by the small recreation derrick in the Wheadon Farm Regional Park, which appears on the blog in a different post.
