Whether that is putting up hay to sell, raising hay for livestock, growing fruit trees, grapes, or raising livestock. Irrigated Ground & Water Rights Approximately 90 acres are under a center pivot irrigation system, producing impressive alfalfa/grass mix tonnage year after year. With some minor improvements, yields could be further increased, and irrigation infrastructure could be expanded. The farm comes with ample irrigation water rights dating back to 1907, which will be outlined in the associated documents. There are 2 valuable Bone Mesa domestic water taps with the property.
