Some neighbors have planted wheat, and /or coastal which shows that the soil can support a hay crop. A WATER WELL RECENTLY INSTALLED CAN PROVIDE WATER FOR CATTLE DURING DROUGHT CONDITIONS.

Water:  There are three tanks. Two of them are just above average size and the other one is smaller. There is one large creek bed that runs across the North West corner that runs deep water when there are rains of 5+ inches hit because of the type of landscape around which has some changes in topography. All the surrounding neighbors have a sustainable underground water supply for their homes. The largest home is a recently built 2 story home with more than 3,000 sq ft. on the east side of this property. A new water well on property is 200 feet deep and produces 5 gallons per minute.
