Property Type: Dryland Farms

Farmland for Sale | 7 Tracts | 1,008+/- Acres in Kearney County, NE

This is an opportunity to acquire a large block of productive irrigated farmland in the heart of south-central Nebraska. Located near Minden in Kearney County, this 1,000± acre property is well suited for an established operator looking to expand or an investor seeking a quality addition to a land portfolio. The farm’s productivity starts with its soils. The acreage is predominantly Holdrege, Detroit, Butler, and Kenesaw silt loams, rated Class I and II. These deep, fertile soils are among the most productive in the region and support consistent yields year after year. Water is provided by both well water and surface water, a dual source that adds flexibility and reliability to the operation. The property lies within the Tri-Basin NRD, known for its well-managed groundwater resources. Surface water is sourced from Central Nebraska Public Power & Irrigation District on a majority of the acres. The farm is open for the 2027 crop year, so a new owner can put their own operator in place or farm it themselves starting next season. The location is as strong as the land. The property is near multiple grain elevators, ethanol plants, and feedlots, giving an operator several competitive marketing options for grain and easy outlets for feed and by-products. It has good access off the highway and a network of gravel roads, so equipment moves and grain hauling are straightforward throughout the year. Large tracts of irrigated ground with this soil quality and water supply rarely come to market in Kearney County. For more information or to schedule a showing, contact Joel Grams or Jeff Moon.
