This specific offering features the best that western North Dakota has to offer in terms of grass and crop production.  With Soil Productivity Index (SPI) ratings in the 80’s and the extraordinary cell block grazing system that is in place, this is perhaps one of the most productive tracts that will be offered in western Slope County in 2020.

The pastureland in section 3 has two central water systems supplied by Southwest Rural water. This section has good soil productivity which has been ideal for grass production and recovery under its current management system.       OWNER:  Richard Bowman
