Approximate Acreage Statistic

The current owner and operator of the farm is hardworking and very experienced. Above, one of his workers land-planes the large field of the Headquarter Tract. Land-planing smoothes out the field and fills in holes; this helps maintain the slope of the field and is especially important to preserve precision landformed fields.

Tillable Land		474 acres
Precision Landformed Irrigated Land	187 acres*
Contour Levee Irrigated Land	256 acres
Irrigated Land Not Suitable for Rice Production	31 acres
Non-Irrigated Land	0 acres
Headquarters, Woods, Roads, Sunflower River and Ditches		29 acres
Total Deeded Land more or less		503.0 acres

* includes the 41 acre field on the Fisackerly Tract which will be precision landformed in 2010 per purchase contract agreement

With new farm practices, seed varieties, and irrigation these yields have improved considerably. However the frozen base acreage and payment yields are still used to calculate government payments.
