ZURCHER HAY FARM
What a neat and well kept farm that is somewhat isolated yet within a short driving distance to all the necessary markets, shopping, implement dealers, education opportunities and health care facilities that are in the area.
Nice improvements with farmland that is pivot irrigated and native grass pastures are difficult to locate in Sioux County, Nebraska the lowest tax based county in Nebraska.
