This farm has approximately 1630 acres irrigated with buried drip lines which are a very efficient way to utilize water and to also reduce labor requirements. There are 28 irrigation wells produce approximately 3600 gpm and are equipped with either submersible electric motors and pumps. High-pressure (50#) plastic, under-ground lines connect all wells. There is one booster pump with a 50hp electric motor used to move water from this farm to an adjoining farm that is also operated by the owner of this farm. The only non-irrigation improvement is a 60X120 Star-built metal frame building. Wells range in depth from 390 to 470 with steel casing and pumps set near the bottom of the hole. The owner states that current water depths range from 80 to 120. Two nearby water-district observation wells (numbers 6976 & 6418) showed 2024 saturated thicknesses of 155.83 and 89.26 with declines in saturated thicknesses from 2014 to 2024 of 2.69 and 9.22. The water-bearing formation in this area does not release water as fast as some areas with higher producing wells but appears to have experienced lesser decline in water depth than the higher producing areas. This is a very fertile, highly productive farm with predominately Pullman clay loam soil type. It has a well-designed, high-quality irrigation infrastructure and is located in close proximity to several dairies and feedyards. If a Buyer is interested, the current owner is willing to cash lease this farm and continue to operate it.
