Agricultural Capabilities
This property offers a tremendous opportunity for any company wanting to complete agricultural research close to Saskatoon. Irrigable farmland of this quality can rarely be found so close to Saskatoon.
 
Irrigation
The cultivated acres are deemed irrigable and approximately 220 acres were irrigated by the owner in the past. Water was pumped directly out of the South Saskatchewan River. Other landowners in the area currently use an electrical service on the property to power their irrigation pumps near the river (see power site pictures).
 
The property’s soil is comprised of a medium quality to productive class 3, dark brown soil. It predominately possesses a Weyburn clay loam to loam soil profile with a secondary profile of Bradwell to Asquith light loam. The topography is rated as level to nearly level every so gently sloping eastward away from the river. The stone rating is mostly slight (S2), however, stoniness does increase as you transition closer to the native pasture acres. The few stones on the property are well-picked and are not an issue from a soil productivity perspective.
There are approximately 30 acres of low-lying native pasture located in the SE corner of the SE-04.
