Eastern Oregon Leathers Farm

Leathers Farm

The Leathers Farm is an eastern Oregon outfit nestled in the high desert of Harney County approximately 30 miles south of Burns Oregon. Rolling hills with sandy loam make up the terrain for this good-sized operation as it is located in some of the highest yields for hay production per acre in the region.

The farm consists of over 1,340 deeded acres. Of that acreage, 762.8+/- acres are irrigated under 7 pivots that currently are certified organic. The Seller is willing to consider purchasing back some of the Organic hay annually.

In addition to the large amounts of irrigation infrastructure can be throughout the deeded. 1 nice sized hay shed, frame built home, manufactured home, shop, rock pit, corrals, & a 2,200' concrete feed bunk separated into 6 fields. The owner is willing to consider leasing back the feed bunk for their dry dairy cattle operation. The owner has a 2,000 head CAFO permit for the lot for their replacement dairy heifers.

Within 25 minutes of the farm one can export in any direction off 4 major highways: Hwy 20, Hwy 78, Hwy 205, & Hwy 395. The farm is also located roughly 5 hours from hay press facilities in Boardman, Junction City, & Aurora to export hay overseas.

The land is home to all types of wildlife. With the continuous acreage, the land allows landowner preference tags for hunting. Mule deer, antelope, seen throughout the area grazing pivots as they are highly attracted to the feed. Several other animal species such as bald eagles, hawks, coyotes, & more can be seen throughout the year.  The land is perimeter fenced with cross fencing throughout. 

IMPROVEMENTS 
The acreage has a variety of homesites & outbuilding utilized for the farm.  Two homes are featured on the acreage with one being 2,400sqft having a 4 bed, 3 bath setup.  A large 10,000+ sq ft hay cover is located near the 2,200’ concrete feed lot, a loft barn is paired with a corral system, & finally a 2,880 sq ft shop for equipment storage.  All together the improvements pair fantastically together and create great spaces for storage as well as housing.
