There are approximately 92 acres cropland, with 22 acres in the north bottom field, 69 acres in the south and west fields, and a little over an acre north of the river. The 22 acre bottom field, which is excellent Eudora silt loam, is flood irrigated. The upland fields to the south and west are nearly level to gently sloping Crete soils, with some Longford soils to the west. The land presently in pasture, about 43 acres, is also nearly all gently sloping productive land, and could easily be converted to cropland and much of the large field could then be center pivot irrigated. The Little Blue River runs through the north and northeast part of the farm and the river timber provides excellent deer habitat.
The FSA bases and yields are 82.4 acres milo, 113 bushels; and 25.9 acres soybeans, 26 bushels. The 2008 taxes were $1,006.41. The water rights from the Little Blue River and Mill Creek have a priority date of June 20, 1953, with 132 acres permitted at a rate of 650 gpm from the river and 700 gpm from the creek.
