You have received good advice but why commercial corn? The per acre payback on corn is very low. It would be difficult to justify irrigation overhead for only 120 acres.
Have you planned rotational crops? Do you have access to livestock manure or bio-solids? Have you considered organic crops.
Your region has enough heat, frost free days and moisture to double crop if your soil health is at it's peak.
It may pay back faster and with higher profit to look outside the box.
