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) numbers 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.
