This property, with its vast improvements at the center of highly productive 819 acre row crop farm, is a sight to behold. This well planned operation consists of approximately 550 acres of irrigated farmland, 31 acres of non- irrigated farmland, 49 acres of ponds, another 30 acres of ponds under construction and the balance of the acreage in various corners about the farm. Another 20 acres of cultivated land is leased from an adjacent landowner allowing pivots to cover ground more efficiently. The irrigation system consists of 9 pivots (1 leased) and 5 pumping units with water provided from spring-fed and watershed ponds and 2-6 inch wells. All ponds are connected by piping and providing maximum utilization of water throughout the property.
