, Fort Sumner, NM (Debaca County)

There are three irrigation wells on the deeded land and two on the State-Lease land. All irrigation wells, underground line and pivots are still in place but the sprinklers have been removed. The water rights are in the Ft. Sumner basin and have been adjudicated. There are 1195.70 acre feet of water rights on the deeded land and 453.42 acre feet on the State-Lease land. Irrigation wells in the area are thought to be strong and the water relatively shallow which equate to cheaper pumping costs.

There is serviceable, barbed-wire perimeter fencing around the property. In addition there is a set of cattle pens and a windmill on the north side of the State-Lease land.

There is additional deeded land available that would be an excellent location for a dairy. This land would be one mile from US Hwy 84 with an excellent gravel road to it. The Ft. Sumner area is noted for its alfalfa hay production which is shipped to many area dairies. Corn silage as well as alfalfa would grow well on this property.
