Excellent Water Resources
Long ago, the operations at Jerry Bay farm began obtaining significant water allocations. Already in place are 272 shares of Holbrook Mutual Irrigation Canal. Tract# 1 holds 145 shares of the Holbrook allocation and Tract #2 holds 127 shares of the allocation. This water supply supports 244.8 acres of prime cropland.
Along with a hay shed, an East End Municipal Water Tap sits on a 6-acre section. This could be a wonderful residential building site.
Reinke Sprinkler System
Along with soil content, productivity depends on the water access. The new 2023 Reinke Sprinkler System installed on Tract #1 at the Jerry Bay Farm reaches approximately 125 acres. It features an excellent center pivot irrigation, Model #2065, improving the agricultural capability of this beautiful Colorado farm. The remaining acreage of the farm ground is under flood irrigation on Tract #2.
Specialty Crops – Agricultural Real Estate
The Jerry Bay Farm produces a variety of crops: alfalfa, corn, forage sorghum, triticale, watermelons, cantaloupes. Most recently, the management positioned this successful Colorado farm to oversee many crops and more hay production, including alfalfa and forage sorghum hay.
You can see how good water resources become valuable for agricultural real estate in southeastern Colorado. Add in the predominant Class I and Class II soils, including Nepesta clay loam, Numa clay loam, Korman and Neesopah loams, and Rocky Ford silty loam.
