Description:
This ranch has historically been farmed in field crops such as alfalfa hay, wheat and cotton. It has grown dairy feed crops such as wheat, triticale, corn and sorghum silage. More recently it has produced reproduction wheat grain for seed, wheat straw and sudan hay. The ranch consists of sandy loam soils on the eastern side and increases in clay content as you move across to the west side of the ranch. Surrounding crops are almonds, pistachios, walnuts, cotton, tomatoes and corn. The current manager has been working to transition and develop the ground into higher value crops such as tree nuts and corn nuts. Land leveling, deep ripping and soil amendment have been added to condition the soil for almond and pistachio planting. The farm has a rich history with one farming family developing and managing the ground for over 50 years prior to the current owner’s purchase for the farm ground 10 years ago.
