In conclusion I would like to reiterate a few points outlining why Roundaway Plantation is such an outstanding farm:
95% of the tillable acreage is irrigated
71% of the tillable acreage is precision land formed (straight levees)
104,000 bushels of grain storage enable the farmer and landowner to dry and store rice and other commodities, allowing more flexibility in marketing of the crops
23 irrigation wells, most of which have been replaced or overhauled during the past 7 years; new irrigation wells were installed on the large acreage which was precision land formed during the past seven years
the Sunflower River allows for a perfect drainage outlet during times of heavy downpour
all of the 2,109.6 acres of rice/soybean rotation land has been optimized in order to be compatible with the red rice weed combatant Clearfield Rice and its herbicide counterpart Newpath
Sitting on one continuous tract of land and bordering the Sunflower River , Roundaway Plantation is truly a beautiful, well maintained and fully improved farm. A tour of the plantation will speak for itself. |
