This property is surrounded by sprinkler irrigated farmland and has great potential for sprinkler irrigation if broken out accordingly as it is located in a strong water are of Castro County, Texas.
The property consists of 319 acres more or less with 221.4 acres enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program at a rate of $39.33 per acre through September 30, 2008. A new CRP contract is in place on 221.3 acres for an additional ten years at a rate of $39.37 per acre, however, it is the thought that the land could be taken out of the program for a minimal penalty prior to the first CRP payment being paid in 2009 on the new contract (this is subject to change with a new Farm Bill).
The balance of the land is currently farmed dryland at this time. There are two irrigation wells on the property and a domestic well used at a set of cattle working pens along the west side of the property. A pivot pad was poured over ten years ago and was used for a short period with a center pivot sprinkler and one of the wells. The two wells are tied together with PVC and some concrete underground lines.
