Frequently Asked Questions
What commercial land opportunities exist in Red Cedar Land’s primary markets?
Commercial land opportunities in Red Cedar’s market area include agricultural processing facilities, grain storage operations and farm supply retail in the agricultural corridors of Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri.
Oklahoma has active oil and gas surface lease commercial activity, and Oklahoma City and Tulsa suburban growth is creating commercial land demand at city edges.

What oil and gas surface rights considerations affect commercial land in Oklahoma and Arkansas?
Commercial land buyers in Oklahoma and Arkansas must specifically investigate whether oil and gas mineral rights convey with the surface. In most Oklahoma producing counties, mineral rights were separated from surface ownership decades ago and the surface buyer receives no royalty interest in any production.
Even without mineral ownership, surface owners in Oklahoma have legal rights under the Oklahoma Surface Damage Act that require oil and gas operators to pay surface damages before commencing operations. In Arkansas, similar surface use provisions protect landowners from unreasonable interference.
Any commercial land use near existing oil and gas production infrastructure must account for pipeline easements, compressor station noise and traffic from field service operations as real operational factors.
What farm-related commercial development is active in Nebraska and Kansas?
Nebraska and Kansas have active commercial land markets tied to the grain handling and livestock feeding industries. Grain elevator sites along rail corridors in western Kansas and central Nebraska are significant commercial properties when they come to market.
Feedlot facilities and related commercial properties in the Platte River Valley near Kearney and the Kansas Panhandle near Liberal are specialized commercial assets. Ethanol plant facilities and related grain receiving terminals have been major commercial rural investments in both states.
Wind energy commercial lease development on Kansas and Nebraska farmland has added a commercial layer to agricultural land ownership, with landowners receiving annual per-turbine lease payments from commercial wind developers.
