Description
Tract 1, commonly known as “The Moses,” is in an area of eastern Barber County that is known for its subirrigation, artesian wells, and springs. This tract consists of 52+/- acres of pasture that has been planted to Jose tall wheatgrass. The pasture has fences on all sides, with a majority being a recently replaced 5-wire fence. There is a good spring-fed pit pond in the south end of the pasture that has been stocked with fish in the past, as well as other areas that could be developed into additional ponds. The highway frontage and available electricity would make this property an excellent candidate for a homesite. The balance of this tract is 225+/- acres of productive farmland and a waterway. This farmland consists predominantly of Port Silt Loam and Canadian Fine Sandy Loam, two of Barber County’s better-producing soil types. There are three separate oil/gas wells on the property. Combined, the wells have produced 179 barrels of oil and 4,757 million cubic feet of gas year-to-date. Mineral rights pass with the surface to the buyer.
