PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
This is an exceptional opportunity to own a quality irrigated farm in one of south-central Nebraska’s most productive areas. Located northeast of Holdrege in Phelps County, this 316± acre property has been in the same family for generations. Farms like this rarely come to the market. The soils are 100% Holdrege silt loam. These deep, highly productive soils are known for their consistent yields, and a farm made up entirely of them is uncommon. Irrigation water comes from both groundwater and surface water, so the operation has a dependable and flexible supply. The farm is irrigated with pivots and power units owned by the tenant. This farm is open for the 2027 crop year. The property has great access off gravel roads and sits near competitive grain markets, including an ethanol plant, grain elevators, and feedlots. An operator has several strong marketing options close to home. For a buyer looking to add high-quality irrigated acres to a farming operation or an investment portfolio, this farm is a rare find.
