Subject to patent reservations of record and subject to rights of way existing or of record . PURPOSE OF THE APPRAISAL To estimate the market value of the parcels identified in this report. DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE Market value is defined as being the "highest price estimated in terms of money which a property will bring if exposed for sale in the open market allowing a reasonable time to find a purchaser who buys with knowledge of all the uses to which it is adapted and for which it is capable of being used. " PROPERTY RIGHTS APPRAISED The unencumbered fee simple title to each parcel . DATE OF VALUE ESTIMATE The estimate of market value applies as of February 10 , 1973 . ASSESSMENT AND TAXES The Weld County Assessor has assessed the property as follows : Land 12 , 380 Improvements 5, 870 18 , 250 x' s 93 . 97 mill levy (1972) Results in applicable taxes of $1,714 . 95 3 { PROPERTY DESCRIPTION The farm is irregular in shape (see attached mad,) and contains an area of 135 . 5 acres, more or less, according to the legal description . According to the County Assessor, the land is classified as follows : Irrigated -- AIII 12 acres Irrigated -- DII 100 acres Pasture -- EVI 14 acres Roads 3 acres 129 acres The discrepancy of 6 . 5 acres is not unusual in assess- ment practices wherein the 6 . 5 acres could consist of land for ditches and waste land. The improvements on the land consist of a large frame residence (1560 square feet plus full basement) , a second frame house (704 square feet) , a 20 ' x 36 ' garage, a 14 ' x 30 ' poultry house, a 32 ' x 64 ' spud cellar, a 14 ' x 152 ' concrete pit silo, 8 miscellaneous sheds containing about 4 , 400 square feet. The improvements appear to be in good condition, as they seem to be receiving better than normal care. As a result, the improvements contribute more than the normal value ex- pected on typical farms. The farm has good water rights -- at least sufficient water to maintain reasonable productivity -- despite loss of some water from seepage in the ditch from head gate to the farm. HIGHEST AND BEST USE Highest and best use is defined as that use which is the most probable and profitable use for the property. 4 . • The subject property is a farm but because of its loca- tion on the west side of the airport -- the highest and best use of the property is as an extension of the airport faci- lities -- at least such a use would be more probable and profitable than its present use as a farm or than some other anticipated use requiring changes in zoning and/or restrictive uses . APPROACHES TO VALUE There are three customary approaches used in estimating the value of real estate : (1) THE COST APPROACH (2) THE INCOME APPROACH (3) THE MARKET DATA APPROACH The COST APPROACH is an appraisal technique in which the value of a property is derived by estimating the reproduction r— cost new of the improvements, deducting therefrom the esti- mated depreciation and then adding the market value of the land. The second method of estimating the value of real estate is to use the INCOME APPROACH to value. This is an appraisal technique wherein anticipated net income is processed to indi- cate the capital amount of the investment that produces the net income. The reliability of this technique is dependent upon four conditions : (1) A reasonable estimate of the anticipated annual net income; (2) The duration of the annual net income; (3 ) The capitalization process; and (4) The method of converting income to capital . The third method of estimating the value of real estate is to use the MARKET DATA APPROACH to value , which is also r called the "Sales Comparison Approach" . In this approach, 5 • an indication of value is arrived at by comparing the rela- r tive utility and desirability of the subject property with comparable competitive properties sold recently and/or being offered for sale. The reliability of this approach is dependent upon: (a) the degree of comparability of each property with the property under appraisal , (b) the time of the sale, (c) the verification of the sales date, and (d) the absence of unusual conditions affecting the sale. In order to make comparisons between the comparable sales and the subject property, the selling price (sale) is adjusted to the subject property for differences of : (a) time of sale, (b) location, and (c) physical characteristics . The result of the comparison indicates the value of the property by the MARKET DATA APPROACH. The Cost Approach has not been used in this appraisal because the land is considered to be the principal contri- butor to value. The improvements are only incidental to value and enhance value to the extent that some form of improvements are necessary for certain uses of the land . The Income Approach has not been relied upon as an indi- cation of value because the net income produced by the farm presently nor from the proposed future use will provide an indisputable indication of value. The Market Data. Approach is relied upon principally to give an indication of value. This is because of several good comparable sales found in the area which would suggest a reasonable market value for the subject. 6 . ;., x �i I� cilj ; r! r II'' -K - // �• 2 ~ ( /�` I. _� l _.h_Q3__ ,, , ' •• ' ,3 ID_' • .4 R Yy ''• 1 ' `v o- ( iii. �= , • o k �� 1s• l '. ��. >.

The urgency of the appraisal assignment prevented an exhaustive investi- gation of all the sales. As a result, sufficient sales near the subject (within 3 miles) were found that give a reliable indication of value . The comparable sales are contained in this report as well as an area map showing their location with respect to the subject. Each of the sales were analyzed and compared with the subject. One standing offer to buy was also checked and included with the sales . The data from 5 comparable sales indicated the overall per acre (land and improvements) prices paid ranged from $793 to $1, 142 , which involved a total of 522 acres for a total price of $487 , 500 or an average of $933 per acre. The standing offer (Sale A) is at a rate of $1, 006 per acre overall . The sales were than allocated as to the value of the improvements and land, which resulted in a per acre price range (land only) of $714 to $1, 025 including the standing offer. The next step was to compare the subject with each of the sales and compare the sales with each other . The low side cf the price range involved Sale #5 which occurred 2 years ago . Since more recent sales were in ex- cess of $ 900 per acre -- an upward adjustment of 1% per month (12% per year) is required to bring Sale #5 in line with other sales. The high side of the price range involved Sale #3 , which price of $1 , 025 did not include water and suggests that the buyer paid a price higher than the market indicates because the property bordered an ownership for which he had previously paid $941 per acre. The adjustment process is further refined until the best indication seems to be greater than $900 but less than $950 i 16 , per acre (land only) . The improvements , which are better than any of the sales' improvements, is estimated to contribute $20, 000 to the total value of the property. i Hence: 126 acres @ $925 = $116 , 550 Add Improvements. 20 , 000 $136 , 550 (say) $136 , 500* *The legal description recites 135 . 5 total acres in the parcel @ $1, 000 per acre over = $135, 500 . VALUE CONCLUSION The indication of value relied principally on the market data approach because the cost approach would not produce satisfactory results and because the income approach could not be developed satisfactorily in the short time in which to complete the appraisal . Even though the cost and income approaches were not used -- the indication of value would still have been the most satisfactory approach to use . As a result of the study, it is my opinion that the market value of the subject property (land and improvements) as of February 10 , 1973 was: One Hundred Thirty Six Thousand and No/100 Dollars ( $136 , 000. 00 ) ---- --- -- - 17j I _ _ CERTIFICATE OF APPRAISAL The undersigned does hereby certify that, except as otherwise noted in this appraisal report: 1.

The farm is considered to consist of approximately 129 .0 acres. A copy of a letter from Attorney Thomas Richardson to Attorney Kenneth Colwell, dated January 30, 1973, includes the Legal Description of the property to be appraised and refers to 135.5 acres, more or less, as being the area con- tained therein. However, there is a discrepancy between that acreage, the one utilized by the Weld County Assessor's office, and by that shown by scaling from an aerial photograph. As a result of my investigation I have considered the 129 .0 acres as being most nearly representative of the true area. If a later survey should determine the area to be considerably differ- ent, than I would be obliged to revise my figures accordingly. Good appraisal practice requires the appraiser to inspect the property and the improvements with the owner or tenant. I telephoned Attorney Richardson, who represents the owner of the farm, and requested arrange- ments be made for such an inspection. However, he requested that the tenant not be disturbed at this time. I have therefore made my appraisal _ based on inspections of the property from the adjoining public roads and observations of aerial photographs. If, at some future date, condemnation proceedings are anticipated, or if more detailed data is required, please arrange for me to make a further physical inspection of the property. _ Due to the short notice and deadline required for the delivery of this report, as well as the limitations of inspecting the property, I have not in- cluded the normal photographs.

Subject to patent reservations of record and subject to rights of way existing or of record. (The above was provided as representing the correct legal description - however, further investigation has convinced this appraiser that the total area, including roads, is more nearly 129.0 acres.) i - 1 - _ TYPE OF PROPERTY $ A nearly average size, improved, irrigated farm, slightly irregular in 1 shape, situated approximately two miles east of the northeast limits of the i City of Greeley. The farm is not large enough to be an economical self- - supporting agricultural unit, and therefore would be classed as a part-time farm, plus good rural residence . PURPOSE OF APPRAISAL The purpose of this appraisal is to estimate the Market Value of the property as of February 12 , 1973. In estimating this value it has been necessary to make a physical inspection, examination, study and analysis of the property. The results are reported in.this appraisal. The real estate interest appraised is that of ownership in fee simple, and the property is appraised as if free and clear, and as if without liens and encumbrances. DEFINITION OF VALUE Market Value As used in this report Market Value is defined as: The highest price estimated in terms of money which a property will bring if exposed for sale in the open market allowing a reasonable time to find a purchaser who buys with knowledge of all the uses to which it �I is adapted and for which it is capable of being used. �I AREA DATA In the interests of time, and pursuant to the requestors for this appraisal report, little will be said about the general area data. It is assumed the readers for whom this report is prepared are reasonably well informed as to general physical characteristics of the Greeley area, as well as many of the economic, E social, and governmental influences. i - 2 - _ _ _ - - - - -- NEIGHBORHOOD DATA — The subject property is situated in the neighborhood just east of the City of Greeley where lands are put to numerous and varying uses. Uses surrounding or near the subject would include the Weld County-Municipal Airport, a small hog faun, auto salvage yards, cattle feeding lots, rural o residential tracts, and a predominance - especially to the north and east, E of good irrigated farms. This farming community is locally known as the Pleasant Valley neighborhood. P — I I The Cache La Poudre River and its accompanying narrow immediate bottom land area meanders from west to east just south of the subject. This _ J, river has its confluence with the South Platte River slightly over two miles ! east of the subject Peterson farm. The principal thoroughfare of the neighbor- s' hood is asphalt paved east-west State Highway #263 (Eighth Street extended t easterly) . At the north edge of the farm is the asphalt paved county road locally referred to as the Bliss Road. Sand Creek, a small shallow inter- mittent drainage meanders from north to south through the neighborhood and — 3 through the north and easterly portions of the subject. All normal conveniences are available, including electricity, natural gas, school buses, milk and mail routes, telephone and television reception. I' A rural domestic water line serves the neighborhood, also. IFarms in this neighborhood are mostly irrigated, are relatively flat and — I''., easy to operate, and are generally well improved. Many units have ditch water irrigation supplies supplemented by irrigation wells. A typical farm + produces diversified irrigated crops such as sugar beets, corn, alfalfa, _ p small grain, potatoes, and some other vegetables. A number of farms also specialize in some sort of livestock production such as cattle feeding, lamb feeding, hog feeding, or - in some scattered instances, a dairy operation. — E The neighborhood is highly regarded as an agricultural community throughout rthe state and the nation. — lil, HIGHEST AND BEST USE II The subject 129.0 acre farm is a reasonably well improved diversified — ! irrigated unit. It is fairly typical of the high quality fauns in the Pleasant Valle although Y area the southern portions of the property include slightly less than average quality soils and the small creek cutting through the pro- perty results in slightly less than average topographic features, including it — _ -- -- _. ,_tea_v,a. -- - - - 3 - some irregular shaped fields. The Highest and Best Use is its present usage, namely the production of income through agricultural produce. The location with proximity to the City of Greeley suggests some poten- tial for subdivision into smaller rural residential sites. This potential is a somewhat limited due to availability of domestic water and sewer facilities, r as well as the legal ramifications imposed by House Bill No. 35 enacted during 1972 in the legislature in the State of Colorado. This bill forbids the subdivision of larger parcels of land into less than 35 acre tracts with- , out filing for a residential subdivision through the county authorities. This filing must be accompanied with proof of availability of utilities - especially water and sewer. Although this may not be impossible for the subject pro- perty, it would undoubtedly be somewhat laborious and expensive. A new City of Greeley sewer main is located in Bliss Road along the north edge of the subject - however, it is doubtful the owner of this property would be allowed to tap into that line in the near future. Also, most of the subject slopes away from the sewer line and would therefore require a lift station even if use of the main were available. Subdivision into three small part-time farms with potential as rural residential sites is a possibility which slightly enhances the overall larger acreage. The existing improvements are adequate and appropriate for either the existing 129.0 acre farm or a smaller part-time farm.. ZONING That portion of the subject farm lying within the SZ of Section 3, or approximately the south 40 acres, is county zoned I-Industrial. The northern approximately 89 acres is county zoned A-Agriculture. - 4 - ASSESSED VALUE AND TAXES The Assessor for Weld County lists the property under the following land classifications: Irrigated cultivated - A III 12 acres Irrigated cultivated - D II 100 acres Pasture - B VI 14 acres Roads - 3 acres Total - 129 acres The property is assessed as follows: Land - $12 , 380 Improvements - $ 5 ,870 Total - $18,250 The applicable mill levy is 93.97 , resulting in current real estate taxes of $1 ,714.95 . DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT PROPERTY — i _ There is some discrepancy concerning size. The legal description, as provided this appraiser from the attorneys for both Dr. Peterson and the Air- port Board, refers to 135 .5 acres, more or less. Data from the Assessor's office shows 129 acres, including roads. Some rather rough scaling from an aerial photograph results in indications of approximately 124 acres. Due to the fact that the Assessor's figures fall somewhere between the two extremes, - ( and also because the Assessor's figures will be utilized later in g the I report as representing the proper acreages for comparable sales, the acreage utilized f herein for the subject Peterson farm is considered to be 129 acres. {{r k' This total acreage is constituted as follows: (See following page) _— i - 5 - Main farmstead - 4.0 acres Labor house site - 0 .5 acres s Irrigated cultivated - 108.5 acres Pasture - 13 .0 acres Roads - 3 .0 acres � I Total - 129 .0 acres As can be noted by reference to the aerial photograph in the envelope _ at the back of this report, the shape is basically two stairstep rectangles. A paved county road forms the northern perimeter, an abandoned dirt county road forms the eastern perimeter. At this point the property adjoins the — existing Weld County-Municipal Airport. The improvements are situated in the extreme northwest corner of the ownership, except for a labor house in the northeast corner of the eastern portion of the farm Sand Creek meanders from near the northwest corner southeasterly to the east central portion of the farm. Generally the land slopes from north to south, except for a small W band or strip of land from the improvements southeast along the southwest side of the creek. There are numerous concrete structures in the irrigation head ditches. Soils under the south approximately 40 acres are noted to be a Gilcrest _ Gravelly Sandy Loam. The north portion of the farm is a Nunn Clay Loam. The extreme southern portion (approximately 15 acres) slopes more steeply to the south and results in thinner soils with considerable small gravel near and at the surface. Irrigation water rights shown as a part of the Legal Description, are considered average and normal for the neighborhood. With these normal ditch holdings, supplemented by the irrigation well, water rights are considered _ good to excellent. Due to the request by counsel for the landowner that the tenant not be disturbed, details of the well have not been obtained. The well is observed and noted as having an eight inch discharge pipe and is assumed r to be average for the neighborhood. The improvements have been noted only in general, due to the request of the owner that the tenant not be disturbed. General description and remarks are as follows: - k (See following page) I, - 6 - - 9 _ Main House - 1 ,560 square feet, frame construction, concrete block and mortar foundation, cedar shingle roof, brick and wrought iron covered front porch, full basement, considered modern and in fairly good condition. Machine Shed - 1 , 056 square feet, frame and metal, metal roof, fair condition. _ ¢ i Pit Silo - 2, 128 square feet, concrete lined partially above grade. Hen House - 420 square feet, frame construction, fenced yard attached, fairly good condition. Spud Cellar - 2 ,048 square feet, frame entryway, dirt cover roof with log and post supports, fair condition. _ Barn and Shed - Total area is 1 ,500 square feet. Combination "L" shaped barn and shed, the barn is frame construction, cedar shingle roof, fair condi- _ tion. The shed is cinder block with cedar shingle roof. G — Machine Shed - 480 square feet, frame, cedar shingle roof, fair condi- tion. Shop and Garage - 720 square feet, older, frame construction, cedar shingle roof, fair condition. - 8 Labor House - 704 square feet, frame construction, electricity only, cedar shingle roof, fair to poor condition. P Other small sheds and fair set of small corrals, including two or three pens. It is assumed the main improvements are served with domestic water from the North Weld Water District System. The farm has good location and accessibility. The improvements are — situated three-quarter's of a mile east, one mile north, and 1 .6 mile east from the intersection of Eighth Street and Eighth Avenue in downtown Greeley. i _ - 7 _ • - EVALUATION S The normal three approaches to value include the Cost Approach, the Income Approach, and the Market Approach. The Income Approach for farm land normally considers agricultural productivity less typical landlord costs, such as taxes, insurance, water assessments, building upkeep and manage- ment - the resultant net income from share crop arrangements is capitalized into an indication of value. Experience dictates that farms in the general area within a few miles of Greeley produce agricultural income or return on investment in the neighborhood of one to two percent, based on Market Value as more significantly suggested by the comparable sales. Due to the insignificant amount of livestock grazing from the small area of pasture and the normal production of the irrigated crop land, the agricultural productivity from subject is of minor consequence as an indi- _ cator of value. Rental of the improvements and some supplemental income from the labor house would still not reflect a reasonable return on invest- - ment as compared to the amenities of ownership and anticipated apprecia- tion which a typical purchaser would anticipate for this type property. The income would consist of about $7 , 500 per annum from a landlord's share of — the crop, and possibly $3 ,000 per annum or $250 per month from building I rental. Annual expenses of approximately $4,000 would leave a net income _ of about $6,500 per annum. $6,500 capitalized at the relatively low rate of s 5% would indicate a value of $130 ,000. �I — 1 The Cost Approach will be utilized to aid in an evaluation of the house and outbuildings as its contributory value to the whole. However, the Market Approach, or comparable sales, will be considered as the best and most re- liable indicator especially of land value . t. On the following page is a tabulation of comparable sales of properties in the general neighborhood. Special effort was conducted to find sales of r other small farm properties situated relatively close-in to Greeley. Reference i to the Comparable Sales Map included as a facing page to the tabulation will show that most of the sales included in this tabulation have reasonable proxi- mity but are generally slightly further from the city. i l 4 i - 8 - P ' -a __� � • i� � I � ✓✓� .i •i r �• /• V"____}r J � ! _ 'i ° 3, P . �I d '�-' 1--1 t • ✓ O 9 ' k a w / -`� ��~f O O •\\ U m o r m 0 I ( \ w ro te x � —_ ' 1� •� O( .

Sales price per acre on the tabulation represents the total sales price divided by the total area within the farm as designated by the County Assessor. This usually includes some county road area and, in some cases, includes waste, ditches, and pasture. In the following remarks those sales having pasture or waste land will be given further consideration. It should also be • noted that the sales price per acre also reflects any improvement value which may have been contributed by buildings on the property. 3 In addition to the eight sales listed on the tabulation, another eight • sales were given some consideration and analysis, and considered less indicative as value indicators. None of the eight listed are more than two miles in distance from the subject, and although it would be preferable to have one or two sales west of the subject and nearer Greeley, no such sales were found. These sales have been verified, have been inspected, and analysis of classes of land, improvements, and other value factors has been made. The value assigned to buildings is the amount they are estimated to have contri- buted to the overall sales price, which is not necessarily the same as their physically depreciated reproduction cost new. An adjustment for date of sale is common, usually necessary, and in recent years has generally been an upward adjustment. Top quality farm land northeast of Greeley in the general Pleasant Valley neighborhood and extend- - E, ing north and northwesterly to the Lucerne and Eaton neighborhoods, has not appreciated as rapidly as some lands of lesser agricultural quality, but _ situated in the Greeley-Fort Collins-Denver triangle. However,er in the a, past few years - in the immediate neighborhood, the influence of Mr. Noffsinger as an interested and able purchaser, the growth and establishment of new modern cattle feed lots by Webster and Farrs, plus the city sewage facilities, has created considerable activity an some d appreciating satin inf luence. fluence g Some adjustment is normally necessary for size in the comparison of k farm properties. Observed history of farm sales shows the greater the size or acreage the lower the per unit or per acre price. That is, a 40 acre farm usually sells for more per acre than a 200 acre farm - all other factors being equal. An adjustment for location is given consideration and relates to accessi- bility, roads, convenience of shipping and marketing terminals, and influences of proximity to towns or cities. _ • An adjustment for water relates to the availability in both quantity and time of irrigation water supplies. Irrigation wells as supplements to ditch • water are included in this consideration. �I - 10 - • An adjustment for soils is primarily considered in the anticipated pro- ductivity of a farm and is of lesser weight when considering the purpose for yy which several of the sale properties were purchased. f Consideration of topography involves the matter of how the land irrigates, including shapes of fields, as well as slopes, and undulations or rougher areas . s The sales have been arranged and numbered on the tabulation and map in _ chronological order as they reportedly were consumated in the market place. Sale No. 1 was at a rate of $1 ,000 per acre for a slightly larger farm nearly 21 years ago. Lone Tree Creek makes a large "S" curve in this farm and created numerous irregular shaped fields. Improvements were minor, the irrigation well was good. Undoubtedly due to the publicity a new sewage lagoon site for the City of Greeley had been receiving, and therefore the purpose for which this purchase was made resulted in figures higher than _ those which would have prevailed otherwise. This sale would therefore re- quire a downward adjustment for conditions of sale - however, upward adjust- ments for location, topography and improvements. Sale No. 2 , which took place over two years ago at a rate of $625 per s acre, requires special analysis in order to be compared to the subject. The improvements are somewhat similar, although contribute slightly less per 1 acre due to the larger acreage. The south portion of the sale property, in- _ cluding over 40 acres, consists of waste land, dry pasture, gravelly hills and a large irrigation ditch. This land is allocated at a much lower rate than good irrigated crop land. On a comparable area of about 200 acres rather than the total 240 acres, this sale would show a price of $750 per acre. It would then require upward adjustments for date, size, and location. Sale No. 3 took place nearly 14 years ago at a rate of $1 , 000 per acre for unimproved, relatively level good irrigated crop land. It did not include ditch water but did include a good irrigation well. It would require a down- ward adjustment for size, but upward adjustments for water, location, and _ improvements. Sale No. 4 is considered the best comparable due to its proximity of location - being situated only one-quarter to one-half mile east of the subject and fronting on the same road. Also, the sale has proximity to the airport. It consists of 72 acres of mostly good, level, irrigated land with similar water rights and similar improvements. This sale at $1 ,111 is adjusted down- ward slightly for size and improvements, and upward slightly for location. r _ _ 4 d I' Sale No. 5 involved a 74 acre farm situated two miles east and one- • quarter mile north from the subject. Most of the sale was good level irri- gated crop land, and the improvements were fair. However, rather severe — adjustments are necessary for conditions of sale. The purchaser needed the property for assemblage and expansion of an adjoining new large feed lot. The seller included the Trust Department of a bank, and the purchaser is a member of the Board of Directors of that bank, and therefore was espe- cially anxious that the price be above and beyond criticism. _ Sale No. 6 at nearly $1 , 100 per acre over one year ago, involved a quite comparable property located two miles directly east of the subject. — The southern portion of the sale property slopes off to the river bottom in ', a similar manner as the south end of the subject. Upward adjustments are necessary for location, size, and improvements. i Sale No. 7 at a rate of slightly over $900 per acre, a little more than one year ago, involves an 80 acre farm one mile north and one mile eas t of subject. It is mostly good level irrigated land, the improvements were of — little value including an abandoned house. Upward adjustments would be necessary for location and improvements, a downward adjustment for size and overall quality of the land. _ f P Sale No. 8 is the most recent sale and was at a rate of $960 per acre, including fair to poor improvements, similar land - however, not including creek bottom pasture. The location is only one mile north and one-eighth mile east. It should be noted that the comparisons have been primarily for the 1 irrigated portions of the subject. Only Sales No. 's 1 and 2 included land r' similar to that along Sand Creek as it meanders through the Peterson pro- perty. The less valuable portions of Sale No. 2 have little to offer for uses other than pasture or waste. It has been noted under the heading — , Highest and Best Use that subject could be divided into small 40 acre rural tracts. In this case the pasture and creek area would not be less valuable than the better irrigated crop land. This is especially true with today's trend for ecology, green belts and recognition of wild life habitats, including trees. Nevertheless, this creek area is considered slightly less valuable than the better more level irrigated crop land. i As a result of this Market Analysis, the overall value of the subject farm is considered to be $1 ,000 per acre, which includes improvements, pasture or creek area, and water rights. 129 acres @ $1 ,000 per acre = $129,000 f E' �I - 12 - Another breakdown or analysis of the values would be as follows: $' Farmstead - 4.0 ac . @ $2 ,000 per ac. _ $ 8,000 - j Labor house site - 0 .5 ac. @ $1 ,000 per ac. _ $ 500 Irrigated cultivated land - 108.5 ac . @ $ 900 per ac. _ $ 97 , 650 Pasture or creek area - 13 .0 ac. @ $ 400 per ac. _ $ 5 ,200 Roads - 3 ,0 ac. @ -- -- Totals - 129.0 ac . $111 , 350 { Plus contributing value of improvements - $ 20,000 4 J Total Value - $131 ,350 v ' t This Market Analysis has resulted in indications of $129 ,000 and � $131 , 350 . It is therefore my opinion value of this total property is $130,000. i 3'. - 3y E `F f 2 - i V f I i m_ - 13 - • CONTINGENT AND LIMITING CONDITIONS This appraisal is subject to the following assumptions and limiting conditions: 1 .
