This offering presents a rare opportunity to acquire a combination of high-quality irrigated farmland in a proven agricultural region of Northeast Nebraska. Consisting of two separate tracts located in Madison and Stanton Counties, this property offers a total of approximately 401 acres with a strong emphasis on irrigated production. The farms are situated in close proximity to Norfolk, Nebraska, and benefit from access to multiple competitive grain markets and ethanol plants, providing efficient marketing options and strong long-term value.
Whether you are looking to expand an existing farming operation, invest in productive irrigated ground, or secure a well-located asset with reliable water and infrastructure, this offering provides both quality and flexibility. The tracts may be purchased individually or together, allowing buyers to tailor their acquisition based on operational goals, investment strategy, or geographic preference.
Tract 1 is located in Madison County, Nebraska and consists of approximately 241 acres, with an asking price of $2,156,950. This tract lies just outside the Norfolk area and benefits from excellent accessibility, with a hard surface road along the west boundary and a well-maintained county road along the south boundary. The nearly level topography of the farm enhances its efficiency for both irrigation and row crop production, minimizing runoff and allowing for uniform water application.
According to the county assessor, the tract includes approximately 196.74 irrigated acres, 6.51 dryland acres, 32.53 grassland acres, and 5.22 other acres. The high percentage of irrigated land makes this a highly productive farm with consistent yield potential. The grassland acres provide additional flexibility, whether for grazing, hay production, or conservation use.
The irrigation infrastructure on Tract 1 is a key strength of the property. The farm is served by two 7-tower Zimmatic center pivots, providing comprehensive coverage across the irrigated acres. These pivots are supported by multiple wells, ensuring reliable water supply and operational redundancy.
Well G-175808 was drilled in 2012 and is rated at approximately 700 gallons per minute. It features a static water level of 16 feet, a pumping level of 40 feet, and a total well depth of 110 feet. This well has been recently updated with a new column, stem, and pump, representing a significant capital improvement that enhances reliability and reduces near-term maintenance concerns.
Well G-134263 was drilled in 2003 and also provides approximately 700 gallons per minute, with a static level of 15 feet, a pumping level of 33 feet, and a well depth of 68 feet. In addition, there is a stock well, G-1153329, drilled in 2002, producing approximately 20 gallons per minute, which supports livestock or supplemental water needs on the property.
The north pivot is powered by a 30 horsepower US Electric motor, offering efficient electric operation for irrigation. The south pivot is powered by a 100 horsepower diesel Caterpillar power unit equipped with an Amarillo gearhead, providing flexibility and strong pumping capacity. This combination of electric and diesel-powered systems allows for adaptability based on operational preferences and energy availability.
The property is located within the Elkhorn Natural Resources District and includes approximately 208 certified irrigated acres. Certified irrigation acres are an important component of long-term land value, ensuring regulated and recognized water use.
FSA information for Tract 1 indicates total cropland acres of 231.85, with 197.60 base acres of corn and a PLC yield of 153. The strong corn base reflects the farms productivity and its suitability for high-yield irrigated corn production. The combination of productive soils, reliable water, and efficient irrigation systems supports consistent performance over time.
With multiple grain marketing options in the surrounding area, including ethanol plants and local elevators, this tract is well positioned for efficient delivery and competitive pricing. Its location near Norfolk further enhances its desirability, as the region is known for strong agricultural infrastructure and demand for quality farmland.
Tract 2 is located in Stanton County, Nebraska and consists of approximately 160 acres, with an asking price of $1,432,000. This tract is situated between Norfolk, Stanton, and Madison, placing it in the heart of a productive agricultural corridor. Like Tract 1, it benefits from access to multiple grain markets, ensuring efficient logistics and strong market competition.
The farm features a gently rolling topography, which contributes to natural drainage while still supporting efficient irrigation practices. Access is provided by well-maintained county roads, allowing for easy movement of equipment and commodities.
According to the county assessor, Tract 2 includes approximately 147 irrigated acres, 1.68 dryland acres, 6.48 grassland acres, and 9.89 other acres. The high percentage of irrigated land makes this a very efficient and productive unit, with minimal non-productive acres.
The irrigation system on this tract has seen recent improvements, adding to its value and reliability. A new irrigation well, G-063647, was drilled in 2022 on the southwest corner of the property. This well is rated at approximately 750 gallons per minute, with a static water level of 52 feet, a pumping level of 66 feet, and a well depth of 190 feet. The addition of this newer well provides strong water capacity and reduces concerns related to older infrastructure.
The well is connected to a 7-tower Valley center pivot equipped with a 75 horsepower US Electric motor and a Sargent pump. This setup provides efficient and consistent irrigation across the farm. The underground piping installed in conjunction with the new well further enhances efficiency and water delivery, allowing for better system performance and reduced operational challenges.
The property is also located within the Elkhorn Natural Resources District and includes approximately 147 certified irrigated acres. This certification supports long-term water use and contributes to the overall value and sustainability of the farm.
FSA information for Tract 2 indicates total cropland acres of 148.68, with 143.7 base acres of corn and a PLC yield of 178. These figures reflect strong productivity and highlight the farms ability to support high-yield crop production. The higher PLC yield relative to Tract 1 may be attractive to buyers evaluating program benefits and historical performance.
Both tracts are currently open for the 2026 growing season, providing immediate possession for the next owner. This is a significant advantage, as it allows buyers to implement their own cropping plans, lease arrangements, or operational strategies without delay. Whether the intention is to farm the ground directly or lease it to a tenant, the open status provides maximum flexibility.
When considered together, these two tracts create a substantial holding of over 400 acres of primarily irrigated farmland in a highly desirable region. The ability to purchase both tracts offers economies of scale and operational efficiency, particularly for buyers already farming in the area. The proximity of the two tracts allows for streamlined management, equipment utilization, and labor allocation.
The farms location near Norfolk, Nebraska enhances their appeal, as the area is known for strong agricultural production, established infrastructure, and competitive grain markets. Access to ethanol plants and elevators supports efficient marketing and can help reduce transportation costs, improving overall profitability.
In addition to their operational benefits, these properties represent a solid long-term investment. Irrigated farmland in Nebraska has historically demonstrated strong demand due to its productivity, water availability, and stability compared to non-irrigated ground. The presence of certified irrigated acres, modern pivot systems, and quality wells further strengthens the investment profile of these tracts.
The combination of nearly level to gently rolling terrain, strong soils, and reliable water resources supports consistent yields and long-term sustainability. These characteristics are critical for both operators and investors seeking dependable performance over time.
Both tracts also offer a degree of versatility. While currently configured for row crop production, the presence of grassland acres provides opportunities for livestock integration, hay production, or conservation practices. This flexibility can be particularly valuable in adapting to changing market conditions or operational goals.
The infrastructure on both properties reflects ongoing investment and maintenance. From updated wells and pumping systems to modern pivot equipment, the farms are well positioned to support efficient irrigation and reduce unexpected capital expenditures. This attention to infrastructure enhances both operational
