With an 8+/- acre lake waterfowl hunting is very good in the early season and throughout the winter. The lake area is leased for waterfowl hunting, generating $2,000.00 per year plus some additional help around the ranch.

The current estimated summer grazing for Cow/Calf pairs is 200+ pair for 5 to 6 months. This is a variable number depending on the Buyers needs. If you want to graze up to the potential or graze and put up the meadow hay. The east pasture is naturally sub-irrigated with a live stream providing water for livestock and waterfowl. This 300 acres has run 400 yearlings for 2 months as well as additional rotational pasturing. Plans are made to install a center pivot on the southern side of this pasture utilizing the ground water rights that exist on the well at the farmed parcel. The Owner harvested approximately 400 ton of hay from this land in 2011. Currently stocked with 135 Cow/Calf pair and 35 Horses.
The irrigated land under the north pivot is somewhat saline in nature but has raised sugar beets and corn, and is very suitable for irrigated Grass. The irrigated land under the south pivot is sandier in nature and is capable of raising all crops associated with the area. Irrigation Water is applied with Two 1998 Zimmatic 6 Tower Center Pivots. One full circle & 1 half circle. They are currently irrigating approximately 101 acres +/- under the north pivot and 39 +/- acres under the south pivot. There are some additional flood irrigated lands in the corners. The irrigation water is currently applied to the pivots by a diesel motor and pump from a surface water pit. North Pivot: 1998 Zimmatic 6 Tower with 7425 hours. South Pivot: 1998 Zimmatic 6 Tower with 5,776hrs.
NRD Information: Two wells are certified with the North Platte Natural Resources District totaling 158 acres. The ground water certified under the wells is currently inactive and will require further development. For example if the well (or wells) would be put in use in 2013, the allocation would be 14 in. of water available for the last year of the current allocation of 56 in. over a 4 year period. A flow meter would need to be installed prior to use.
