Description

Just 5 miles east of Malta, Montana, with highway frontage off Old Highway 2, the East Malta
Irrigated Farm & Ranch is a standout agricultural operation spanning 1,203 deeded acres.
Owned by the Hould family, this productive and well-managed property has long served as the
backbone of a successful feed program for decades.
With 586+/- acres of irrigated land, this is some of the most proven and high-yielding ground in
all of Phillips County. The rest of the acreage consists of 193.2 acres of quality non-irrigated
farmland acres and 387 acres of native grass.
Acreage Breakdown:
● Irrigated Land: 586.1 acres
● Farmland (non-irrigated): 193.2 acres
● Native Grass: 387 acres
The irrigated acres are currently seeded in a productive 50/50 split of corn and alfalfa. Annual
production averages a reliable 28 tons per acre for corn and no less than 7 tons per acre on
alfalfa. Gated pipe irrigation delivers efficient, low-labor water management across the field
systems. This property has been the engine of the Hould family’s feed and cattle program for
years—proven ground with proven results.

has not impacted production or overall usability.
Recreational Appeal:

experience with healthy populations of geese, upland birds, mule deer, and whitetail. The
irrigated cornfields are a magnet for waterfowl, adding a layer of recreational and outfitting
potential to this already premier operation.
