This Eastern Oregon farm is south of Burns Oregon nestled in a picturesque valley with a tapestry of the Steens Mountains & agricultural prosperity. The landscape consists of slight hillsides on the west & south portion of the deeded that overlook the valley floor where the irrigated rest. The farm has a total of 760 deeded acres with 340 acres in water rights under 3 pivots. The irrigation is done by 5 wells with 2 having hot water.

The property borders thousands of acres of public BLM ground as well as the Malhuer Wildlife Refuge. The irrigated fields are currently planted into a mixture of oats, peas, turnups, clover, & annual grasses. There is a bunk house on the property and a good set of steel working corrals set up with alleys from different grazing pastures to make it a swifter process of cattle handling facility.

This is truly a unique property with an amazing setting, plus it has its own private cinder pit for roads & pivot tracks.

IRRIGATION

A total of 340 acres are irrigated by 3 pivots, 2 Reinke, 1 Zimmatic, one of which has a LESA system to optimize water evaporation. The pivots are all interconnected with the mainlines & tied into the 5 wells. The 3 pivots are all currently planted into a mixture of oats, peas, turnups, clover, & annual grasses.

This area has a longer growing season for hay & alfalfa due to the warmer climate compared to the other areas around Burns.

IMPROVEMENTS

The improvements on the premise are mostly storage with a couple of train carts. There is a bunk house that has been used during calving season for a close place to rest between the fields & pasture ground. A steel set of working corrals works great with alleys leading from different pasture fields to allow a working area to sort & load. The owner currently uses a portable loading chute.

The owners have a cinder pit on the deeded they use for their roads, pivot tracks, & more.
