Certified Organic Dry-Land Farming & Premium Pasture Land

Here’s an exceptional opportunity to acquire 320± acres of highly productive land in Todd County, South Dakota, boasting over 10 years of Certified Organic status, eliminating the wait for premium certification.

Ideally situated just north of the state line, the property is located approximately 7 miles (as the crow flies) from Crookston, Nebraska. This versatile acreage is perfectly suited for dry-land farming, premium pasture, recreation, homestead or a combination. 

This property serves as a solid foundation for both row-crop and forage production, making it an ideal acquisition for owner-operators or investors seeking diverse, high-value income streams. With over a decade of certified history, this established management makes the land perfectly positioned to capitalize on the surging global demand for organic crops and premium livestock.

Proven Soil Health & Production

With over a decade of meticulous organic management, this land offers exceptional soil health and immediate access to premium organic markets. By bypassing the difficult three-year organic transition period, the new owner can capitalize on higher margins from day one.

• Rotation History: A disciplined 10-year rotation of Winter Wheat, Dry Edible Beans, and Alfalfa, including strategic fallow periods.

• Future Potential: Rich, nutrient-dense soil capable of supporting a wide variety of high-demand organic produce.

• Irrigation: Offers flexible options for future irrigation development to further enhance farming and hay yields.

Irrigation Development Potential

A significant advantage for future productivity is the proven potential for irrigation.

• Proven Hydrology: Test wells were performed in 2019, confirming the land's suitability for irrigation.

• Permit History: Following the tests, the SD-DENR Water Rights Program issued two construction permits (#2800-2 and #2801-2) for irrigation wells covering both quarters of the property. https://danr.sd.gov/OfficeOfWater/WaterRights/Databases/WaterRights.aspx#textsearch

• Current Status: While the wells were not constructed and the original permits have since expired, this history provides a strong roadmap for a new owner.

• Opportunity: A buyer can re-apply through the SD-DENR to secure new permits, utilizing the 2019 data to significantly de-risk the development process.

Strategic Cattle & Forage Production

This property is uniquely positioned for a premium organic beef  or cow-calf operation. With 10+ years of organic certification, the land bypasses the costly three-year transition period, allowing you to market organic-certified livestock.

• Integrated Grazing: The existing rotation of alfalfa and small grains provides high-quality organic forage and cover-crop grazing opportunities.

• Soil Synergy: Running cattle on this ground enhances the "closed-loop" organic system, with natural fertilization boosting future row-crop yields.

• Market Advantage: Capitalize on the surging demand for organic-certified, grass-fed beef with a land base that meets the strictest USDA organic pasture requirements.

Utilities & Infrastructure

The property is well-positioned for a cattle operation or a future homestead, offering significant savings in development costs:

• Power: A significant value-add is the existing on-site power provided by Cherry-Todd Electric Coop, saving the buyer thousands in utility development costs, providing a turn-key solution for residential or agricultural power needs.

• Water: Infrastructure includes one windmill and one submersible well. Note: As the land has been dedicated to organic dry-land farming for the past 10 years, these wells have remained unused and untested during that time. They are offered "as-is."

Recreation & Lifestyle

• Hunting: Excellent hunting opportunities with populations of Whitetail deer, Mule deer, Pheasants, Grouse and Wild Turkey in the area.
