Farm Purchase Considerations
Farm due diligence depends on the type of operation. On irrigated ground, review water rights documentation, the condition of pivots, pumps, and ditches, and delivery history in dry years. On dryland grain farms, soil productivity ratings, precipitation history, and yield records carry the most weight. On hay operations, look at cutting history, yields, and the distance to buyers. For any farm, review government program enrollments such as CRP contracts and FSA base acres, existing leases and tenant relationships, conservation practices, and any easements or deed restrictions that limit agricultural use. Program and water rules vary by state, so confirm them with the local FSA office and the state water agency.
Questions Buyers Often Ask
What types of farms does Fay Ranches sell?
Our farm listings include irrigated cropland, dryland grain farms, hay and forage operations, farm and ranch combinations, specialty crop properties, and diversified agricultural operations. Properties range from smaller family-scale operations to large commercial farming enterprises across the American West.
Are there hay farms and turnkey farms for sale?
Yes. Hay and forage operations are a regular part of the farm listings, and some are offered as turnkey operations with equipment or irrigation infrastructure included, so confirm exactly what conveys in the purchase contract.
What should I look for when buying irrigated farmland?
Review the type and seniority of the water rights, the condition and efficiency of the irrigation system, delivery history, soil productivity, and any drainage issues. Water availability varies widely across the West, so have the rights reviewed with the state water agency.
What is the difference between a farm and a farm-ranch combination?
A farm earns most of its income from crops or hay, while a farm-ranch combination pairs cropland or hay ground with grazing land and livestock facilities. A combination lets an owner raise feed and run cattle on the same property.
How do government programs like CRP affect farmland purchases?
Acres enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program are under contract and generally cannot be cropped until the contract ends, and a sale affects how the contract is handled. Review enrollment terms and expiration dates with the local FSA office before you make an offer.
