Leathers Farm

Leathers Farm is an agricultural operation located in the high desert of Harney County, approximately 30 miles south of Burns, Oregon. Set amidst rolling hills and sandy loam soils, this eastern Oregon farm is known for being situated in one of the region’s most productive hay-growing areas.

The acreage features 1,700 deeded acres with 1,054.2+/- acres of water rights that are irrigated by 11 pivots.  The pivots are primarily Zimmatic with several featuring LESA systems, all crops are currently certified organic.  The current owner is open to annually purchasing back a portion of the organic hay, offering a unique income opportunity for the buyer. The property’s certified organic status, combined with top-tier infrastructure, positions it well for continued success in organic hay production or dairy support.

A range of improvements can be found throughout the acreage with most being for ag use.  Two homes can be found on the property, one being 2,419 Sq.Ft. stick-built home that is a 4 bedroom 3 bathroom setup.  The ag buildings consist of several hay sheds, livestock sheds, 2 small sets of working corrals, loft barn, & a 2,200’ feed bunk.  The Feed bunk features a 2,000 head CAFO permit, currently used for replacement dairy heifers, making this an ideal setup for those looking to expand or integrate livestock operations.

Access to Leathers is convenient, with it being located within 25 minutes of Burns Oregon and four major highways, Hwy 20, Hwy 78, Hwy 205, and Hwy 395, that allow for efficient distribution in all directions. Additionally, the property is approximately five hours from hay press facilities in Boardman, Junction City, and Aurora, which support hay exports overseas.

The continuous land and varied terrain offer excellent opportunities for recreation and hunting. The farm qualifies for landowner preference hunting tags and is home to mule deer, antelope, and various bird species including bald eagles and hawks. Coyotes and other native wildlife are also frequently seen. The entire property is perimeter fenced, with cross fencing throughout.

Leathers Farm offers a solid opportunity for producers or investors looking for a well-established operation in Eastern Oregon. With certified organic ground, irrigation infrastructure, and a strong setup for livestock production, it’s ready to work from day one.
