SIZE & DESCRIPTION

The Byron Pivots are located in an area known for exceptional water, high crop yields and a mild climate. Situated at an approximate elevation of 4,020 feet above sea level, the terrain of the farm is mostly flat making for easy and efficient irrigation.

There are seven electric center pivots on the farm that are in exceptional condition with manual control boxes and separate meters and pumps for six out of seven pivots.

WATER RESOURCES

The Byron Pivots have some of the very best water rights of any farm in a multi-state region. With senior water rights dating back to 1959 on Bitter Creek and water rights from the Shoshone River dating back to 1900, the farm consistently has an abundance of water over and above what they use. The Sidon Ditch delivers water from Bitter Creek as well as the Shoshone River to the farm. The Sidon Ditch delivery cost for the Shoshone water is currently $35.00 per irrigated acre (6.7 acres). The delivery cost payable to the Sidon Ditch for the Bitter Creek water is set at 30% of the general assessment which equates to $10.50 per irrigated acre (762.58acres). A unique feature of the Sidon Irrigation District is an oil royalty, payable to its members in September of each year. The details of the Sidon Irrigation Ditch will be made available to prospective buyers upon request.

CARRYING CAPACITY / OPERATIONS

With the farm being mostly perimeter fenced (approximately 4 ½ miles of new perimeter fence) the current owners are able to take in approximately 400 head of mother cows for approximately 2 months in the witner to graze the aftermath on the pivots and corners. In 2021 the daily charge per cow was $1.15 with an anticipated increase of up to $1.50 for the 2024 grazing season. Over 16,000 of 6 inch drain line provides year-round water that can be used to provide livestock.
