Nebraska Irrigated Farm

The farm is highlighted by a newly built 66’ X 120’ insulated shop with living quarters. Also included are four nearly new grain bins with storage capacity of 200,000 bushels. The bins have mechanical sweeps and aerators powered by a large generator. Other improvements include a 40’ X 100’ Quonset shop, a 100’ X 240’ silage pit, and a 60-ton scale with new scale house/office. Note 15 pivots were replaced with new 2022 Zimmatic pivots and the remaining six are 2012 and 2013 models.

Groundwater wells supply water for the property. Nebraska groundwater is regulated and an abundant water source – about as secure as water gets. Water for the wells comes from a high plains aquifer, commonly called the Ogallala Aquifer. It is the largest freshwater aquifer in the continental United States with freshwater saturation levels in the Sandhills ranging up to 1,200 feet. The total volume of water in the aquifer reaches from south central South Dakota to west Texas and is estimated to be approximately 21.8 billion acre-feet, of which approximately 65 acre-feet are located in Nebraska. Nebraska Irrigated Farm is located in the Twin Platte Natural Resource District (TPNRD) and all wells are certified with the NRD. There are 21 wells on the farm producing from 700 to over 2,700 gallons per minute. There are no restrictions on pumping; however, no new well can be drilled and no expansion of irrigated acres is allowed. Information on the Twin Platte can be obtained at www.tpnrd.org.
