According to the Wheatland Irrigation District (WID), the Kidd Farm has a total of 307 acres of water rights with the District and an additional 217.79 acres of Ringsby water rights.  The Ringsby water rights assure the owner of the farm that, in the event of a water shortage from WID, the farm would have supplemental/backup irrigation water.

Improvements

The only building on the farm is an older, 972± sq. ft. house (originally a schoolhouse) that has had some recent work but is in need of further repair.

Comments

The farm is bordered by two canals – one on the west and one on the east.  Highway 34 borders the farm on the north resulting in an irregular-shaped parcel.

A natural spring on the property could be developed for stock water.
