With ample irrigation water, the current owner hays approximately 150± acres which produce 1.25 -1.5 ton per acre (yields as high as 2.25 ton per acre on Garrison Grass with fertilizer) while grazing the remaining 250± irrigated and sub irrigated in conjunction with the dryland pastures. The grass is high quality with a variety of hard grass species, rich in protein content.
