U.S. 259, De Kalb, TX 75559 - Bowie County

Folks, this Irrigated Texas Farm for Sale is just 1/4 mile south of the Red River, 12 Miles north of DeKalb, TX and 40 miles west of Texarkana. Here we have a 48 - 52 inch Average Annual Rainfall. We're looking at 87 Bu average for Corn on dry-land & approximately 140 - 180 under irrigation with NO DRYING COST. A Local Market for Corn at 35 Cents (above) CBOT. Corn is not the optimum crop here, though. Double cropping Soy Beans & Wheat is the tradition, here. In many years, irrigation is only a back up. Pumping is very infrequent and very inexpensive compared to a $180 per acre, annual pumping cost in the High Plains.

We're looking at an average of 40 - 45 Bu wheat on dry-land and approximately 60 - 80 under pivot. 20 - 40 BU Soybeans on dry-land and approximately 45 - 55 under pivot. Keep in mind that on most High Plains Farms, your corners are a 25% extra cost without enough yield to justify the fertilizer. Here, every acre produces handsomely. There's no waste here, Folks. Hail Risk here is hardly even a factor.

Taxes run approximately $2.75 per acre.

Acreage 2,000 /- deeded and contiguous acres with 1,742 /- cultivated and 919 /- acres under 6 pivots installed in 2008.
