Large MN dairy buys farmland in Nebraska

One of Minnesota’s largest dairy producers has reportedly acquired almost 24-hundred acres of farmland in north-central Nebraska.  That according to a report in the Lincoln Journal-Star.

The land, located in Holt County, was purchased at auction earlier this month at a cost of more than 12 million dollars.  It includes 16 parcels, all served by center-pivot irrigation units, that had been owned by an area feedlot.

The Journal-Star connects the sale to the Fehr family from west-central Minnesota.  It says the family has ownership in several Minnesota dairy operations that milk thousands of cows a day.  A company spokesman declined to comment on their intentions for the Nebraska property.
