The farm is permitted for 1.892 billion gallons annually through 2025. The 212 acre lake provides tremendous value to all of the property as a dependable secondary irrigation water
source. It is up to 50 feet deep and recharges from the water table. If the property is sold to more than one buyer, the water rights to the lake will continue to serve the entire property and will be owned by a property owners association.
