Alliance, NE 69301(Box Butte County)

All three center-pivot irrigated circles have excellent shallow irrigation wells in the prolific Arikaree Aquifer, with shallow levels that have stayed nearly static over the past 40 years. The wells and pivots have been annually serviced by Western Valley Irrigation and Dustin White Pump Service and are electric powered (PREMA) except for the south pivot, which is powered by a John Deere diesel generator. These irrigation wells are metered and have been conservatively used with a large unused future water reserve established with the Upper Niobrara White Natural Resource District. The soils are sandy silt loam which produces excellent crops and grazing. The farm has raised corn (220 bu/a in 2015), wheat (100-120 bu/a in most years), edible beans (40-50 bu/a most years), sugar beets with top yields, excellent dairy alfalfa for many years and excellent potatoes (cash rented) over the past 40 years.

The ranch land on the Gardner Farm and Pasture is crossed fenced into 9 pastures. It is well watered with shallow stock water wells equipped with windmills and electric submersible pumps on the same well with large watering tanks. Set up as a turnkey cattle operation, working improvements include; good cattle feeding pens, very good cattle working facilities and calving barns.

The Gardner Farm & Pasture offers a turnkey, well balanced operation that few other properties have to offer. This property has been well cared for and managed by the owner/operator (farmer-rancher) in cooperation with good tenant farmers and ranchers.
