Logan County Irrigated Land Auction Concludes with Two Parcels

An online only auction hosted by Reck Agri Realty and Auction concluded on November 20 for two pivot irrigated parcels totaling roughly 254 acres, one parcel in Logan County and one in neighboring Sedgwick County. The LandHub listing served as the authoritative event posting and included full property descriptions, maps, an auction brochure and contact information for the agent. Bidding opened at 8 00 a m Mountain Time and a soft close began at 12 00 p m Mountain Time.

The Logan County parcel was listed as approximately 160 acres with about 123 acres under a pivot irrigation system and about 37 acres of dryland, grass or corner ground. Irrigation infrastructure on that parcel included an eight tower Valley pivot operated via a pit pump, and the property carried 16 shares of the Harmony number 1 Ditch Company. The parcel sits roughly 6.5 miles northeast of Crook and about 2 miles from Jumbo Reservoir. The second parcel in Sedgwick County was listed at about 94 acres, with 58.5 acres pivot irrigated and 27.9 acres flood irrigated. That tract was described with a seven tower Reinke pivot fed by an irrigation well and a 40 horsepower electric motor and pump.

The brochure noted possession and mineral rights conveyance details and starting bid information for each parcel. Those legal and operational details are often decisive for local buyers because water access, ditch company shares and the allocation of mineral rights can affect both short term operating costs and longer term land value. The presence of both a pit pump fed pivot and an electric motor driven well highlights different energy and maintenance profiles that buyers must weigh, particularly as electricity and fuel costs influence irrigation expenses.

For Logan County residents the auction underscores several local trends. Irrigated acreage remains a key asset for crop productivity and land values, and parcels adjacent to reservoir infrastructure and with ditch company shares are often more attractive to working farmers and investors. The sale also interacts with broader pressures on regional water supplies and the administrative framework that governs irrigation rights. Conveyance of mineral rights can affect future development options and tax assessments, so the auction brochure information on those matters was a central element for prospective bidders.

Although specific sale prices and purchaser identities were not part of the listing, the event signals ongoing interest in irrigated farmland in the region and the importance of irrigation infrastructure in farm economics. Local producers and policy makers will be watching how ownership changes affect water use, property tax base and agricultural activity in and around Crook. The LandHub listing remains the primary source for the auction materials and contact information for further questions.
