The improvements on the property are located in the northern portion of this unit (lying north of Hwy 20). They consist of an older well-kept home, three shallow wells, miles of pipeline with large rubber-tire tanks set in concrete. The grassland is fenced and cross-fenced into pastures of 160 to 320 acres in size.

The fences on the grassland are in excellent condition with miles of nearly new fencing constructed of mostly 4 to 6 strand high tensil barbed wire and a generous ratio of wood to steel. The water on the grassland is provided by a series of a dozen(+/-) tanks on the Perkins County Rural Water system, several stock dams, and localized shallow wells. These attributes along with access being directly off SD Hwy 75 make this one of the most desirable large tracts of grass offered anywhere.

The farming program has been continuous cropped with a wheat, sunflower, corn and alfalfa rotation with a rigorous weed control and fertilizer regimen.
