The Uerling Ranch is a highly diversified 560± acre working farm and ranch combining pivot and gravity-irrigated cropland, dryland farm ground, productive pasture, livestock facilities, grain storage, recreational opportunities, and a well-maintained five-bedroom country home. The two parcels will be offered together at auction as one complete unit.

With approximately 332 acres of irrigated farmland, 207 acres of pasture, livestock improvements, and Republican River frontage, the property offers an exceptional opportunity for an owner-operator, expanding agricultural producer, cattleman, recreational buyer, or land investor.

Land Composition
The property’s approximate land-use breakdown includes:
* 220± acres of pivot-irrigated cropland
* 112± acres of gravity-irrigated cropland
* 10± acres of dryland cropland
* 207± acres of pastureland
* Balance consisting of the building site, feedyard, farm roads, and supporting areas
* 560± total acres

The farm’s irrigated acres provide a strong production base suitable for corn, soybeans, alfalfa, feed crops, and other crops commonly grown in southwestern Nebraska. The combination of pivot irrigation, gravity irrigation, canal water rights, and certified irrigation wells gives the property valuable operational flexibility.

Farm Layout:
The primary building improvements are conveniently positioned along the county road, providing efficient access to the residence, livestock facilities, grain storage, and equipment buildings.

An eight-tower Reinke windshield-wiper pivot is located immediately east of the primary building site. A full-circle, seven-tower Zimmatic center pivot is positioned near the center of the western portion of the farm.

The gravity-irrigated fields are located primarily in the southwest and southeast corners of the property along the county road. This layout provides convenient field access and allows the irrigated acres to work efficiently with the farm’s existing water-delivery system.

The pasture and native grass acres are primarily located north of the cropland within the looping portion of the Republican River. These areas include a mixture of excellent and average rangeland soils, along with mature cottonwood trees that provide valuable shade and protection for livestock.

Irrigation Improvements:
The eastern windshield-wiper pivot is an eight-tower Reinke center pivot. The system is supplied by water from the Frenchman-Cambridge Irrigation District when canal water is available. Two electric irrigation wells can also supply the pivot during periods when canal water is unavailable.

A separate submersible well provides livestock water to the cattle pens located on the eastern portion of the building site.

The western full-circle pivot is a seven-tower Zimmatic center pivot. is supplied by a productive all-electric irrigation well located at the pivot point.

An additional irrigation well is located near the center of the pivot. Water from this well is transported through underground pipe to serve the gravity-irrigated portions of the property and is also shared with the neighbor to the south to irrigate 126.6 acres across the road to the south and is secured by a recorded irrigation agreement filed in Red Willow County.

At the conclusion of the 2025 growing season, the property reportedly had 50.5 inches of irrigation allocation remaining. This significant remaining allocation provides an incoming owner with valuable irrigation flexibility and represents an important component of the farm’s long-term agricultural value.

Prospective buyers should independently verify the remaining irrigation allocation, applicable allocation period, carryforward provisions, certified irrigated acres, pumping restrictions, well registrations, pumping capacities, and irrigation-equipment condition with the appropriate Natural Resources District and governing agencies.

Canal and Surface-Water Rights:
The farm includes surface-water rights in the Meeker-Driftwood Canal, part of the Frenchman-Cambridge Irrigation District. These rights carry a reported priority date of April 3, 1946.

The surface-water allocation includes:
* 59.8 acres in Section 21
* 115.3 acres in Section 22
* 175.1 total acres with reported canal-water rights

Canal water is used when available and adds an important water source to the farm’s overall irrigation system. All water rights, district assessments, delivery conditions, priority dates, and irrigable acres should be independently confirmed with the Frenchman-Cambridge Irrigation District and the appropriate state agencies.

Livestock Operation:
The ranch is well suited for cattle production and includes a small backgrounding facility with feedyard pens, concrete feed bunks, and an established corral system. These improvements allow an incoming owner to receive, sort, feed, condition, and manage cattle directly on the property.

The combination of irrigated feed production, gravity-irrigated ground, dryland acres, pasture, crop residue, feed storage, and livestock-handling improvements creates a complementary farm-and-cattle operation. An owner could raise forage and grain on the irrigated acres while utilizing the pasture and feedyard facilities as part of an integrated livestock program.

A submersible well supplies livestock water to the eastern pens, while mature cottonwood trees within the river pasture provide natural shade for grazing cattle.

Grain Storage and Agricultural Buildings:

The building site includes several practical agricultural improvements supporting the farm’s grain, equipment, and livestock operations:
* Open-front equipment shed
* Additional smaller utility and storage sheds
* Two 9,000+/- bushel grain bins
* One 5,000+/- bushel grain bin
* Feedyard pens with concrete feed bunks
* Established livestock corral and handling system

These improvements allow the farm to function as a complete agricultural unit, with space for equipment storage, grain handling, cattle feeding, and everyday operational needs.

Ranch-Style Country Home:
The property includes a well-kept, five-bedroom ranch-style farm home with three bathrooms and an attached garage. The residence provides generous living space for a family, farm employees, visiting hunters, or multigenerational living.

The kitchen includes a built-in oven and countertop electric range, along with an adjoining dining area. A large main-floor living room is highlighted by a corner, all-brick fireplace, creating a warm and inviting gathering space.

A second fireplace is located in the spacious family room, which opens to a walk-out patio. This area provides additional room for entertaining, family gatherings, and relaxing while overlooking the surrounding farm and ranch.

The home also includes a full basement that is approximately one-half finished. Large basement windows bring in abundant natural light, making the lower level bright, comfortable, and highly usable.

Residence features include:
* Five bedrooms
* Three bathrooms
* Ranch-style construction
* Attached two-car garage
* Large main-floor living room and separate family room
* Corner all-brick fireplace
** Walk-out patio
* Full basement, half finished
* Large basement windows providing natural light

Republican River and Recreation:
One of the property’s most distinctive features is the Republican River, which meanders along its northeast and northwest sides. The looping river channel, pasture, mature cottonwoods, cropland, and natural cover create a diverse habitat attractive to area wildlife.

The river corridor offers travel routes, bedding cover, food sources, and access to water for deer, wild turkey, upland birds, and other wildlife. The irrigated and dryland fields further enhance the habitat by providing nearby food sources.

This combination gives the property a meaningful recreational component without diminishing its agricultural productivity. An incoming owner can operate a productive farm and cattle enterprise while also enjoying hunting, wildlife observation, and the scenic qualities of the Republican River corridor.
