THE FARM
Triple G Farms is located just minutes from Hemingford, NE, in the panhandle of Nebraska where the roots of agriculture
run deep in the highly productive soil. This irrigated farm consists of eleven center pivot systems in three convenient
parcels and has historically produced corn, wheat, soybeans and alfalfa. The farm is centrally located close to several
markets and feedlots providing stability to the local grain markets.
With a total of 1,653.36 acres, this farm boasts 1,376 adjudicated irrigated acres under eleven center pivots.
Irrigated farms in the area routinely produce 200 bu corn, 100 bu wheat, and 40 bu beans.
*Acreage counts are believed to be accurate but have not been verified by a professional survey. Yields can vary due to weather conditions and
management practices. Potential buyers are advised to consult their experts to make their own analysis.
IMPROVEMENTS
The irrigation equipment includes seven Reinke 8 tower pivots and four Zimmatic 7 tower machines, ensuring a highly efficient and productive operation. This gives the farm a total of twelve pivots. There are two 25 k/bu bins with drying floors, four 7500 bu bins, and one 9000 bu bin, all in usable condition. There is a total of eleven irrigation wells with all of the wells in each block tied together to offer a greater flexibility in your water
management plan.
WATER
This farm is within the Upper Niobrara White Irrigation District, which is headquartered out of Chadron Nebraska. The farm is allocated 65 acre inches per five year allocation period with a maximum carry forward of 32.5 from the previous period. The current allocation period runs from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2029. There is ample allocation remaining for the remainder of the current allocation period.

It ensures a reliable source of water, which is essential for crop production, and provides a competitive advantage in
the agriculture industry. With access to this abundant source of water, the farm has the potential to produce high yields of quality crops for years to come. Remaining allocations for each parcel can be found on page seven of this brochure.

This quarter section just a couple of miles southwest of Pleasanton, has it all. 53 acres of irrigated farmland, 34 acres of dryland farmland, 69 acres of high quality grass, a well-sheltered built site with utilities, as well as hunting opportunities. It doesn't get much more diverse than that.
There are 53 acres of irrigated farmland underneath a 4-tower Zimmatic pivot. The pivot is powered by a natural gas power unit, offering effective and efficient use. The irrigation well pumps approximately 450 gallons per minute, a very useful amount for the size of pivot. The irrigated acres are made up primarily of highly productive hord silt loam soils, with 0 to 1 percent slopes, and a very impressive NCCPI of 74. The productivity of this soil, paired with the consistent watering from pivot irrigation, has the potential to produce highly yielding crops of any kind.
Aside from the irrigated farmland, 34 acres of dryland farmland have also been added to the property, furthering the highest and best use of the land. The 69 acres of grass have been properly utilized, and the fencing around the vast majority of the pasture is in very good condition. A small dry lot and weather protected calving area also adds to the convenience of the property.
Adding to all of the agricultural benefits, the property has a perfectly located, and well-sheltered build site, with a well and electric on site. The area currently has an old home in place, but is ready for a new build. The driveway is already rocked and graveled, and is ready for travel in any weather. While an aerial map may not show it, don't underestimate this property for hunting opportunities. Located in very close proximity to the South Loup River, the property is known for quality bucks traveling through. The turkey population in the area is thriving, and the property is littered with turkey sign throughout. The land is also a good host for large flocks of doves, as well as waterfowl potential for ducks and geese feeding in the farmland.
The property is in a terrific location, close to cattle and grain markets. If you've been looking for a combination farm with everything the farmer and rancher needs, in a diverse piece of Buffalo County, this is well worth a look!

History
Geography is often destiny. It has always been so with Ogallala, a town that came into existence at the junction of the major routes of the transcontinental migrations and of the cattle trails north from Texas.
From 1870 to 1885, Ogallala was the gateway of the Northern Plains. Hard-bitten Wyoming and Montana cattlemen met in Ogallala's hotel and saloons with Texas cattle kings and bargained over cattle prices. Gold flowed freely across the table, liquor across the bar, and occasionally blood across the floor as a bullet brought some unlucky cowhand to his death on the floorboards of Tuck's Saloon.
The first non-native visitors to this area were the trappers from St. Louis.
Next came the pioneers who followed the Oregon Trail. To protect them, the government established forts at intervals along the trail. Then came the Union Pacific Railroad. It is assumed that Ogallala had its beginning about 1867. Settlers started to follow the railroad west, and the cattlemen started driving their cattle to Ogallala to be shipped east or to be sold to Montana and Wyoming ranchers.
Ogallala's early history was unspectacular, promising to be nothing but a section house and water tank for the railroad. Then, in the spring of 1868, three men appeared to set the destiny of Ogallala. These men were the Lonergan brothers and Louis Aufdengarten. The Lonergan brothers came to do construction work for the Union Pacific Railroad. They found the plains to their liking, and subsequently became interested in Ogallala.
By 1876, Ogallala had changed little from its infant days in 1868. The stores were all south of the railroad tracks, and fronted what was called Railroad Street and the trail leading south to the Platte River. Along this trail extended the rest of the town. The town consisted of saloons with such names as The Cowboy's Rest and the Crystal Palace. The last building on the street was the Ogallala House dining room widely patronized because of its excellent fare. It was run by S.S. Gast.
By 1880, Ogallala consisted of one courthouse, one school, one hotel, two dwelling houses, and twenty-five permanent residents. The tempo of living in early Ogallala changed with the seasons. During the months of winter and early spring life was drab and dreary. Shortly after the first of June the town began to hum with activity as the first Texas trail herds started to arrive. During the three summer months business boomed ten to twelve herds, each of two hundred or more trail hands taxed the facilities of Ogallala. Sleeping rooms and meals were hard to find when the trail hands were in town. Activities in Ogallala continued at a fever pitch until the end of August, by then the Texans were heading back to Texas; by November Ogallala had settled back in quiet and peaceful repose.
Ogallala's population of floaters, gamblers, trades-people and dance hall hostesses drifted to Omaha or Cheyenne to spend the winter. One hotel, one supply house and a single saloon remained open for the winter. The community sank into a state of inanimation until next spring.
In 1882-1884, the settlers and farmers reached Ogallala. These men were encouraged by the Union Pacific Railroad because the railroad started selling their land at quite low prices.
A serious epidemic of Texas fever swept over Nebraska during the summer of 1884. The disease first appeared near Ogallala in July apparently being brought in by Texas cattle. The disease spread quickly and it caused very heavy losses to the cattlemen. The ranchers had started to put expensive blooded bulls in their herds. These ranchers demanded that Texas cattle be excluded from Nebraska. This ban of Texas cattle was a damaging blow to the Texas trail herd business. This was the end of the trail period of Ogallala, as the wild, often violent town became a peaceful farmer's settlement.
