Located in a region known for strong agricultural production and excellent access to grain markets, this property offers a balanced combination of irrigated and dryland acres, modern irrigation infrastructure, and significant improvements that enhance both productivity and operational efficiency. The farm consists of approximately 201.1 acres, according to the county assessor, and features a mix of irrigated cropland, dryland acres, and grassland. With its nearly level topography, the property is well suited for efficient farming practices, minimizing runoff and allowing for consistent water distribution across the irrigated acres. The terrain, combined with soil quality and water availability, supports strong yield potential and long-term productivity. One of the key strengths of this property is its location. Situated near Norfolk, Nebraska, the farm benefits from proximity to multiple grain elevators, ethanol plants, and agricultural service providers. This access allows for efficient grain marketing and input procurement, reducing transportation costs and improving overall operational efficiency. The strong agricultural infrastructure in the area also supports long-term land value and market demand. Access to the property is excellent, with a well-maintained county road bordering the east side and a hard surface road along the north boundary. This dual access provides flexibility for equipment movement, grain hauling, and general farm operations, regardless of weather conditions. Reliable access is an important factor for both operators and investors, and this farm delivers in that regard. The property includes approximately 142.55 irrigated acres, forming the core of its productivity. These acres are supported by a strong irrigation system designed to deliver consistent and efficient water application. The irrigation well, identified as G-139518, was drilled in 2003 and provides an impressive capacity of approximately 1,000 gallons per minute. It has a static water level of 47 feet, a pumping level of 100 feet, and a total well depth of 130 feet. This high-capacity well ensures that adequate water is available to support crop needs throughout the growing season. The irrigation system is anchored by a nearly new 7-tower Zimmatic center pivot, which provides reliable coverage across the irrigated acres. The pivot is powered by a 75 horsepower US Electric motor, offering efficient and cost-effective operation. In addition, the system includes a J-Line pump, which contributes to overall system performance and water delivery efficiency. The combination of a strong well, modern pivot, and quality pumping equipment makes this an attractive property for producers seeking dependable irrigation. The farm is located within the Elkhorn Natural Resources District and includes approximately 189.6 certified irrigated acres. The presence of certified irrigated acres is a significant asset, as it reflects regulated water use and contributes to long-term land value. It also provides the potential for future irrigation expansion, particularly on the north end of the property where additional certified acres exist. An important feature of this farm is the opportunity to add an additional pivot system. The north portion of the property includes certified irrigated acres that are not currently under pivot irrigation, creating the potential for expansion. This offers a unique opportunity for a buyer to increase irrigated acreage and enhance the overall productivity and value of the farm. The ability to expand irrigation is often limited, making this an especially attractive aspect of the property. In addition to the irrigated acres, the farm includes approximately 41.92 dryland acres. These acres provide flexibility in cropping practices and can be utilized for crops that may not require irrigation, or as part of a rotation strategy. The dryland acres also contribute to the overall diversity of the operation, allowing for adjustments based on market conditions or operational preferences. The property also includes approximately 11.33 grassland acres, which can serve a variety of purposes. These acres may be used for grazing livestock, hay production, or conservation programs. The presence of grassland adds another layer of versatility to the farm, making it suitable for operators who incorporate both crop and livestock enterprises. An additional 5.30 acres are categorized as other acres, which may include roads, waterways, or other non-cropland features. While not directly contributing to crop production, these acres are an important part of the overall farm layout and infrastructure. A notable improvement on this property is the extensive tiling work that has been completed. Tiling is a significant investment that enhances drainage, reduces waterlogging, and improves soil conditions. By managing excess moisture, tiling allows for more timely field operations and promotes healthier crop growth. The presence of substantial tiling improvements indicates a commitment to maintaining and improving the productivity of the land, and it provides long-term benefits for the next owner. FSA information for the property reflects a strong cropping base, with total cropland acres of 194.76. The farm includes 150.3 base acres of corn with a PLC yield of 129, as well as 4 base acres of grain sorghum with a PLC yield of 64. Total base acres are reported at 154.3. These figures highlight the farms productivity and its suitability for row crop production. The strong corn base, in particular, aligns with the capabilities of the irrigation system and the regional market demand. The combination of irrigated and dryland acres allows for flexibility in crop selection and rotation. Producers can optimize their cropping strategy based on market conditions, input costs, and agronomic considerations. The irrigation system provides a level of consistency and risk management, particularly in years with variable rainfall. The farm is open for the 2026 growing season, providing immediate possession for the next owner. This is a significant advantage, as it allows the buyer to implement their own farming plans without delay. Whether the intention is to farm the property directly or lease it to a tenant, the open status provides maximum flexibility and control. From an operational standpoint, this farm is well suited for a variety of buyers. For an existing operator in the area, it offers an opportunity to expand acreage and improve economies of scale. The proximity to Norfolk and other agricultural hubs supports efficient management and logistics. For an investor, the property represents a high-quality asset with strong income potential and long-term appreciation. The presence of modern irrigation equipment, a high-capacity well, and extensive tiling improvements reduces the need for immediate capital investment. This allows the next owner to focus on operations and returns, rather than significant infrastructure upgrades. The farm is essentially turn-key, with the core components in place to support productive agriculture. In addition to its practical benefits, the property holds strong long-term value. Irrigated farmland in Nebraska is consistently sought after due to its productivity, water availability, and resilience in varying weather conditions. The combination of certified irrigated acres, modern infrastructure, and a strong location enhances the investment profile of this farm. The potential to add an additional pivot further increases its appeal, as it offers a pathway to increased productivity and value. As water resources become increasingly regulated, the ability to expand irrigation on existing certified acres is a valuable opportunity that is not always available. The location within the Elkhorn Natural Resources District provides a framework for responsible water management, ensuring that the resource is preserved for future use. This is an important consideration for both operators and investors, as sustainable water use is a key factor in long-term agricultural viability. Overall, this property represents a well-balanced and highly functional farm with strong production capabilities. Its combination of irrigated and dryland acres, quality improvements, and excellent location make it a standout offering in the market. The nearly level terrain, strong soils, and reliable water supply provide the foundation for consistent yields and efficient operations.
