The total farm contains about 267 acres in cultivated land, 250 acres in pasture and 3 acres for house, buildings and corrals. Pasture is a combination of improved and native. Brush has begun to invade some of the previously cleared, improved pastures. Also some of the cropland is being used for seasonal grazing. The only cash crop currently grown is wheat. The farm has a wheat base of 197 acres and a grain sorghum base of 51 acres. Most of the acreage is available by paved highway; the remainder fronts on rock or gravel roads.

It has been owned and operated by the same family since 1913.

The farm provides a variety of income/recreational opportunities including crop production, cattle and hunting (deer, turkey, dove, quail, hogs). Our cousin who lives nearby trapped over 150 hogs on the 73 acres last year.

House – About 2,000 square feet; central h/ac; two full baths; two bedrooms; large den-living area; smaller den off kitchen and a garage that has been covereted that could be a 3rd bedroom. All utilities – rural water, electric co-op, telephone, satellite TV hookup, almost new septic tank. The house is in fair condition. You could live there in its current condition, but anyone considering this for a primary residence would probably want to do considerable updating and remodeling.
