Harold Rother: Originally from Okarche, Oklahoma, Harold Rother first came to eastern Colorado and western Kansas while on wheat harvest in the 1940s. He fell in love with the area and recognized a great opportunity to build a farm and ranch empire while building a life in a place where he also loved the people. With his brother, he first purchased 320 acres in the early 1950s, which is being offered in the auction as Tract 13. He later purchased section 18 (Tract 17), which included a farmhouse where he would raise his family alongside his wife and partner Shirley. Together they raised two sons on the property while being active in their local community and church. Harold loved the farming and ranching way of life and never met a stranger. Harold passed away in March 2007.

Harold was a great man. He was honest and easy to do business with. He knew how to make money and saw opportunities in farming and ranching.

All the Sellers water rights, including well-sharing agreements, will transfer with the property.

Seldom is a property of this magnitude offered at public auction. The Rother Farm and Ranch offers something for everyone.

It took over 70 plus years, a love of agriculture, and business acumen to assemble this offering. The farmland will add well to an existing operation or investment portfolio, and Buyers will find the ranchland to be well maintained and cattle ready.

The land will be sold at auction in tracts and combinations, making this a tremendous opportunity for Buyers to purchase their ideal property.

An equipment auction will follow this land auction on a date to be determined.
