A $108.68 per acre average cash rent is equivalent to a 4% annual return on $2,717.00 per acre land. Per the cash lease agreement, the tenant must be given written notice 30 days prior to the lease termination date of December 31, 2025, or the lease continues for another year.

The well is pumping 500 gpm. Drops are nozzled at 500 gpm. The pivot is a 12 tower T&L hydraulic drive powered by a 200 hp variable speed electric motor with panel. The irrigation well, motor, and gearhead are located approximately 300 ft east of the southwest corner of the property along the south property line. Electricity comes from Pioneer Electric, Ulyssess, KS.
As stated in the tract #1 description, an irrigation water ‘place of use overlap’ exists between tract #1 & tract #2 meaning water can be moved by underground pipe between the tracts limited to authorized acres and quantities. Buyers are responsible for verifying the accuracy of this with the Division of Water Resources (DWR), Garden City, KS, and Groundwater Management District 3 (GWMD#3) Garden City, KS.
At the time of the auction August 19, 2025, the east half of the pivot on tract #2 will be in 143.7 acres of irrigated wheat stubble. The west half of the tract #2 pivot will be planted to 144.13 acres of irrigated corn. The dryland corners are planted to 141.65 acres of dryland corn. The tenant intends to spray the wheat stubble after wheat harvest to control weeds at a cost of $20 to $25 per acre. Buyer will reimburse the tenant this expense, unless the tenant retains the lease.
The tenant said his yields have been running 180 bushel on irrigated corn, and 80 bushel irrigated wheat. Grain is delivered to Skyland Grain located 6 miles south of Rolla, or 1 mile south of tract 2 on County Rd 24.
