The current owner has placed a berm around the West, North and East boundary of the property. This berm was placed by the owner with no cost share or design implementation by any private or governmental agency. The berm allows the current owner to flood approximately 25 acres of the farm for waterfowl. The owner is currently installing a brand new 15hp 230-volt 1 phase Benson pump and Franklin motor. The well pump was purchased from Hardwick and Brinkley Well Supply in Brinkley Arkansas. The 6 well is estimated to pump approximately 600-650 gallons per minute. There is a discharge for dewatering on the Northeast corner of the property. This discharge pipe is 10 SDR35 pipe that has been placed in the berm with an upright riser pipe that is removed.
The farm sits a little over 1 mile West of what was formally known as Big Prairie Duck Club. The Illinois Department of Transportation currently owns this land and is over 1,600 acres of refuge with over 1,000 acres of water that hold thousands of migrating ducks and geese annually that are not hunted by the public at this state site! This farm is located South of the LaMoine River in a pinch point up against the bluff which makes an optimal spot for waterfowl traffic.
The farm will be selling with no agriculture lease for the 2024 farm season and no hunting leases for the 2024 hunting season. The farm will convey upon closing, after the 2023-2024 waterfowl hunting season.
