There are 1,862.79 ± tillable cropland acres per crop insurance records, considered in production via a summer-fallow crop rotation, with approximately 50% of the farm in production each year. A neighboring farmer has operated the farm for many years under a 1/3 – 2/3 crop-share lease. The landlord receives 1/3 of the crop each year and is responsible for 1/3 of some of the input costs. Historically, crop rotation has consisted of overwinter wheat varieties planted in the fall.
