Eastern Oregon Weaver Springs Farm

Weaver Springs Farm
Off Hwy 205 and Weaver Springs

This Eastern Oregon farm/ranch has a great location about 26 miles south of Burns, Oregon. There is approx. 2,400 tons of hay storage capability, 20 ton truck scales and a 300 head feed lot.

The main house sits next to a private pond which is fed by Weaver Spring. The house is on a private road and has many upgrades. In addition to the farm there is a private cinder pit to help gravel the roads and pivot tracks.

Despite the ample water rights, the farm faces some water related challenges. These issues could stem from factors such as fluctuation in water availability, infrastructure limitations and legal  Addressing these challenges might require investments in irrigation technology, improvements in water management practices, or negotiations with local water authorities to ensure a reliable and sustainable water supply.
