43 U.S.C. § 375c — Sales of small tracts to resident farm owners and entrymen; price; terms; acreage purchasable

The Secretary can sell small leftover irrigation-project tracts to resident farm owners or entrymen on that project. The price must meet an approved independent appraisal. No buyer's total irrigable land, old and new, may exceed 160 acres.

The Secretary can sell this small leftover land to people who already own a farm, or already hold a homestead entry, on that same irrigation project. The price cannot be less than an independent appraisal the Secretary approves sets it at. The Secretary decides the terms and whether to sell it privately or at public auction. But no resident farm owner or entryman can buy more than 160 acres this way — and if they already own or have entered other land on that project, their total irrigable acreage, old and new combined, still cannot exceed 160 acres.
