Ochiltree County Is a Major Wheat-Farming Area

On the level prairie around Perryton, wheat has room to work. Perryton sits in the north central part of the county. The county soils are clay and loam. They support wheat, grain sorghum, corn, alfalfa, cattle, and swine. Wolf Creek and South Wolf Creek cut across the county, but the farm view is still wide fields, dry air, and long weather bets.

Texas has a tax tool for land that is truly working. It is the open-space, or 1-d-1, appraisal. The land is valued for what it can produce, not for its sale price.

The use must be real. Farm or timber land generally needs five of the past seven years in that use. Keep leases, crop records, stock records, wildlife plans, and maps in one folder. That file helps the appraisal district see the acres have been at work.
