| This nice section of irrigated farmland is less than 10 miles from the Hilmar cheese plant and would be an ideal location for a dairy. The farm has one mile of frontage on FM 694. A caliche road and 3-phase electricity run through the center of the property. There is a 7200-head permit (3600 milking) for a dairy to be located on the southeast quarter which is currently in improved pasture.
Three center-pivot sprinkler irrigation systems (’79 Olsen, ’90 Zimmatic and ’98 Zimmatic) each nozzeled for 600 gpm plus a pivot point in the southeast quarter are connected to three irrigation wells by high-pressure plastic line. The wells are approximately 550 ft deep, have submersible electric pumps and motors (two 40 hp & one 50 hp) and will run one sprinkler at a time. There is also a livestock well with a 10 hp submersible electric motor and pump and a well equipped with a submersible electric motor any pump that supplies water for the home.
A 3-bedroom, 2-bath home built in 1980 has 1492 sq. ft. plus an attached 2-car garage and a large finished room in the basement. The home has a metal roof and is all electric except for gas heat. Also included are a nice 54’x72’ metal building, two 22,000-bu grain storage bins with drying floors and a set of steel cattle pens. There is a 4 & 5-strand perimeter fence with mostly steel posts.
The location of this property makes it a “must see” for dairymen!!!
