GENERAL PROPERTY INFORMATION
SOILS
Soils on the farm are level to undulating sandy and sandy loams with the Valent and Jayen series prevalent. The farms developed soils allows inputs of water and nutrients to be readily absorbed for optimal production. The farm is readily capable of 200+ bushel corn and 90 bushel soybeans.
WATER
Good soils provide the framework, but good water is the engine for a farm production operation. Ample water is available to the farm at reasonably shallow depths. Each of the 11 pivots are supplied water by its own registered well and equipped with an electric motor and GPS guidance system. Pumping depths range from 104’ to 198’ with an average of 140’ and most of the wells operate on 50 or 60 Horsepower electric motors. The sprinklers are typically nozzled to pump 700 GPM with some more and some less. The Nebraska NRD allows 65 acre-inches of water to be pumped over a 5-year period beginning in 2023. The farm carried in excess water from the prior 5 year period and the water allocations and carry forward per well will transfer with the property. Water volumes and quality are very adequate to irrigate the farm.
IMPROVEMENTS
Tracts 9 & 10 each offer a home for employee housing and Tract 9 has a large workshop and additional grain storage and outbuildings. These improvements are desired for an operation of this size. Housing is a shortage in the area especially with the new large cattle feeding operation going up in western Dundy County.
SUMMARY
David Farms is a high-quality irrigated farm located in a desirable farming area. Each pivot has its own well, equipped with three phase electric motors and GPS guidance systems. The farm has excellent water resources and produces above average yields. Commercial farms of this quality are highly sought after and rarely come to market.
