Tract 4: 1,736.29+/- acres

Description: This is a magnificent 11 quarters of contiguous pasture and cropland. There are 517.92 +/- acres of total cropland and 1,218.47 +/- acres of native grass and other uses. The equivalent of over three quarters of high-quality cropland (Keith Silt Loam with 0-1%slopes) is in 6 fields on this land. The cropland is 96% Keith Silt Loam considered a Cadillac soil in northwest Kansas and considered ‘Prime’ by USDA-NRCS, if irrigated. The six cultivated fields are all fenced off from the pasture with 5 wire fences.   

Scenic western Kansas vistas are everywhere on this prairie paradise. The gray and white shale breaks, and yellow limestone outcroppings make a beautiful contrast with the green grass and trees. Wide valleys with cattle grazing and deer and antelope moving through the grass is beautiful to see, most people never see anything like it short of a state or national park. Spring fed streams run through the pastures. A spring fed tire tank is in the middle of two sections of grass.

The SW 1/4 26-14-27 has a 36 X 100 ft Quonset with two 7.5 wide sliding doors on the south side.  It’s steel over wood frame construction with a concrete floor. At the same site is a QSI 15 ft diameter X11 ft tall grain bin, with unloading auger and air. There’s excellent hunting in the grass and trees on the east side of this quarter.  

Two cropland fields totaling 106.51 acres are planted to wheat on the SW 1/4 26-14-27. Another wheat field of 68.01 acres is planted right in the middle of the big grass tract between sections 35-14-17 and 36-14-27. 100% of the wheat crop goes to the buyer, with no production expense reimbursement required from the buyer. An oil well is pumping on the S ½ 35-14-27 but no production or minerals belong to the sellers on this half section. There is a saltwater disposal well the buyer will benefit from. Minerals are intact on all other legals including the N ½ 35-14-27.

The bidding increments will be $50/acre. The final sale price will be calculated based on total acres times the highest bid.
