A 23.57 acre field that is currently farmed dryland would be ideal for a drip irrigation system. The balance of the land is in grass but a portion could be cultivated. There is a conservation area planted to trees between the pivot and the draw. An area along the draw would likely qualify for a CCRP Buffer.
