Herger Ranch 326.33+/- Acres

Madison, CA

Location: This ranch is located on the NW corner of Highway 16 and Road 89 in Madison, CA. The

property stretches all of the way from Highway 16 to Cache Creek. Madison is a small

town with a population of approximately 500 people. The location of this property gives

it an enormous amount of upside potential. The North 25% of the property would make

an ideal location for a gravel mine and is within the Cache Creek Management Plan.

This property boasts some of the best soils in the world and will efficiently grow just

about anything.

APN#: 049-060-011

Farmable There are 273.29 farmable acres according to the Farms Service Agency. The remainder Acres: of the acreage is comprised of roads, ditches, 2 homes, 1 shop, and a portion of Cache Creek. FSA There are 107.30 FSA base acres on the subject property. The following is a breakdown Base: of that base: Crop Name Base Acres Direct Yield CCYield Wheat 71.20 84 84 Corn 35.90 128 128 Barley 0.20 63 63 Total: 107.30 Acres Wells: This ranch is comprised of 3 agricultural wells. Each is strategically placed to irrigate the

various fields throughout the ranch. The well locations and water quality reports can be

found within this brochure. The water table in this area is reported to be less than 200

feet making this ranch inexpensive to irrigate relative to other ranches in California

where they are currently pumping water from over 1000 feet deep.

Soils: This ranch is comprised of Class I & Class II Soils. A detailed soils map & fertility

recommendation for both Walnuts & Almonds can be found within this brochure.

Mining: This property is located in an area with an abundance of gravel. Teichert, SYAR, Granite

Construction, and Solano Concrete Company are some of the nearby neighbors who

have been actively mining for years. This property is purported to contain vast amounts

of gravel beneath it. Any potential mining would first need to be approved by the Yolo

County Planning Department.

Leases: The farm is currently leased to Circle G Farms. Circle G is a long time Yolo County

Farming family with a great reputation for excellent yields and are easy & honest people

to work with. The farm is currently leased for the 2014 crop year, but would be

available for a potential buyer to farm in 2015.

Homes: There are two homes on the subject property. One of them is a 1227 sqft 3 bedrooms 1

bathroom and is currently occupied by a relative of the sellers.

The 2nd home on the property is a 1304 sqft 3 bedroom 1 bathroom home and is

currently unoccupied. The home needs a lot of work prior to being re-occupied.

Barn: There is an old dairy barn on the subject property. The roof & foundation seem to be in

good condition, but the siding needs some TLC. It will make for a great location to store

parts and irrigation supplies for any potential buyer.

Mineral All of the oil, gas, and mineral rights currently held by the sellers will transfer to the Rights: buyer at the close of escrow. Taxes: This property is enrolled in the Willamson Act. Property taxes will remain low at the

close of escrow. Price: Call For Price Listing: This farm is co listed between Charter Realty and William T. Morgan Real Estate Comments: This property has a lot of upside potential. It has gravel, class I &II soils, and at its

present time has low carrying costs. This property can be divided into sections; with the part of the ranch being developed into a walnut, pistachio, or almond orchard and the other into a lucrative gravel mine. The property taxes currently stand at less than $10,000 annually and because of its enrolment in the Williamson Act, they won’t change at the close of escrow. This ranch is co-listed with William Morgan of William T. Morgan Real Estate.

Description

Land capability classification shows, in a general way, the suitability of soils for mostkinds of field crops. Crops that require special management are excluded. The soilsare grouped according to their limitations for field crops, the risk of damage if theyare used for crops, and the way they respond to management. The criteria used ingrouping the soils do not include major and generally expensive landforming thatwould change slope, depth, or other characteristics of the soils, nor do they includepossible but unlikely major reclamation projects. Capability classification is not asubstitute for interpretations that show suitability and limitations of groups of soilsfor rangeland, for woodland, or for engineering purposes.

In the capability system, soils are generally grouped at three levels-capability class,subclass, and unit. Only class and subclass are included in this data set.

Capability classes, the broadest groups, are designated by the numbers 1 through8. The numbers indicate progressively greater limitations and narrower choices forpractical use. The classes are defined as follows:

Class 1 soils have few limitations that restrict their use.

Class 2 soils have moderate limitations that reduce the choice of plants or thatrequire moderate conservation practices.

Class 3 soils have severe limitations that reduce the choice of plants or that requirespecial conservation practices, or both.

Class 4 soils have very severe limitations that reduce the choice of plants or thatrequire very careful management, or both.

Class 5 soils are subject to little or no erosion but have other limitations, impracticalto remove, that restrict their use mainly to pasture, rangeland, forestland, or wildlifehabitat.

Class 6 soils have severe limitations that make them generally unsuitable forcultivation and that restrict their use mainly to pasture, rangeland, forestland, orwildlife habitat.

Class 7 soils have very severe limitations that make them unsuitable for cultivationand that restrict their use mainly to grazing, forestland, or wildlife habitat.

Class 8 soils and miscellaneous areas have limitations that preclude commercialplant production and that restrict their use to recreational purposes, wildlife habitat,watershed, or esthetic purposes.
