With a blend of sub-irrigated cropland and pasture ground, the property is well suited for a wide range of agricultural uses, including row crop production, forage harvesting, grazing, or integrated crop-livestock systems. The property is legally described as the Southwest Quarter of Section 20, Township 15 North, Range 4 West and consists of a total of 158.64 acres according to the county assessor. Of those acres, approximately 110.10 are classified as irrigated cropland, 44.57 acres are grassland, and 3.97 acres are considered other. This balance of cropland and pasture provides operational flexibility and allows the buyer to adapt the property to their specific production goals, whether focused solely on crop production or incorporating livestock into the operation. Sub-irrigated land is highly sought after due to its natural moisture retention and ability to support consistent yields, particularly in years with variable rainfall. The sub-irrigated acres on this farm offer strong production potential and reduced reliance on supplemental irrigation compared to conventional dryland acres. This natural advantage enhances yield stability, improves forage growth, and supports healthier crop development throughout the growing season. The irrigated portion of the farm is supported by three irrigation wells, providing reliable water capacity and redundancy for continued operation. Well G-060573 was drilled on May 24, 1977, and is rated at approximately 518 gallons per minute with a well depth of 45 feet. Well G-073539, drilled on April 12, 1988, provides approximately 600 gallons per minute with a well depth of 50 feet. Well G-063568 was drilled on June 14, 1979, and supplies approximately 500 gallons per minute with a well depth of 47 feet. Together, these wells support the farms certified irrigated acres and contribute to dependable water availability throughout the growing season. The property is located within the Central Platte Natural Resources District, a region known for its proactive water management and long-term sustainability practices. According to available records, the farm includes 110.10 certified irrigated acres. Certified irrigation is a critical factor for both operational planning and land valuation, as it ensures that water use is recognized and regulated within established guidelines. This certification adds long-term security and value for the buyer. From an agronomic standpoint, the farm has a strong history of row crop production. FSA records indicate total cropland acres of 110.10. The property includes 87.6 base acres of corn with a PLC yield of 158, reflecting the farms strong corn production capability. Additional base acres include 6.4 acres of soybeans with a PLC yield of 53 and 3 base acres of wheat with a PLC yield of 29. Total base acres are recorded at 97, offering valuable flexibility for participation in federal farm programs and future cropping decisions. The predominance of corn base acres makes this farm particularly attractive to producers focused on corn production or corn-based rotations. The combination of sub-irrigated soils, certified irrigation, and established base acres supports consistent yields and stable income potential. The additional soybean and wheat base acres allow for diversification and rotational flexibility, which can improve soil health and long-term productivity. In addition to its cropping potential, the grassland acres on the property add meaningful value and versatility. The 44.57 acres of grassland provide an excellent opportunity for grazing livestock, hay production, or forage harvesting. This pasture ground is well suited for cattle operations or for producers looking to integrate livestock into their cropping system. Integrated crop-livestock operations can improve nutrient cycling, enhance soil structure, and provide additional revenue streams. The property includes barbed wire fencing that is reported to be in good condition, reducing the need for immediate capital improvements. A catch pen is also present, further supporting livestock use and making cattle handling more efficient. These existing improvements add to the turn-key nature of the farm and reduce startup costs for buyers intending to utilize the pasture ground. Access and location are key strengths of this property. Being situated just one mile off Highway 30 provides outstanding accessibility for equipment, grain hauling, and daily operations. Highway 30 is a major transportation corridor in the region, allowing for efficient movement of inputs and commodities. The farms proximity to multiple grain elevators and ethanol plants enhances marketing flexibility and can help reduce transportation costs, an important consideration in todays agricultural economy. The surrounding area is well known for its strong agricultural infrastructure, including grain handling facilities, input suppliers, equipment dealers, and service providers. This established infrastructure supports efficient farm operations and adds to the overall desirability of the location. Whether delivering grain at harvest or sourcing fertilizer and seed, operators will appreciate the convenience and efficiency this location offers. From an investment perspective, this property represents a compelling opportunity. Sub-irrigated land continues to command strong demand due to its inherent productivity and resilience. Farms that combine irrigated cropland, pasture ground, and excellent access are increasingly difficult to find, particularly in regions with stable water resources and strong grain markets. The asking price of $1,150,000 reflects the quality, versatility, and long-term value of this offering. The combination of cropland and pasture also provides risk diversification. In years when crop margins are tighter, livestock or forage production can help offset income variability. Conversely, strong grain markets can be capitalized on through the farms irrigated acres and corn base. This flexibility is a key advantage for both owner-operators and investors. All mineral rights owned by the seller, if any, will convey to the buyer at closing. This is an important consideration for long-term ownership and adds potential upside value. While there is no guarantee of mineral production, ownership of mineral rights ensures that the buyer retains any future benefits associated with subsurface resources. The legal description is clear and straightforward, contributing to a smooth transaction process. The Southwest Quarter of Section 20, Township 15 North, Range 4 West is a well-defined tract that provides clarity and confidence for buyers and lenders alike. This farm is well suited for a variety of buyers. Established producers looking to expand their acreage will appreciate the proximity to Highway 30, the reliable water supply, and the productive soils. Livestock operators will value the pasture ground, fencing, and catch pen. Investors will recognize the long-term value of sub-irrigated land in a strong agricultural region with access to multiple markets. In summary, this highly productive sub-irrigated farm offers a rare combination of location, versatility, and infrastructure. With certified irrigated acres, dependable wells, quality pasture, and excellent access, it stands out as a strong addition to any agricultural operation or land portfolio. Properties that offer this level of flexibility and long-term potential are increasingly hard to find, and this farm deserves serious consideration from buyers seeking to expand their operations or invest in high-quality Nebraska farmland.
