62 Acres in Bethany, MO - $155,000
It's easy to tell when someone loves their land! As soon as you set foot on this place, you'll see that it has been meticulously cared for. Approximately half of the tract is forest with large stands of mature hardwoods, including abundant white oak (the preferred acorns of deer and turkey), hickory and other large trees. Other wooded areas include rugged ravines, timbered draws and cedar thickets, providing natural food and cover for the resident deer, turkeys, quail and other small game. The farm also has multiple water sources including a woodland pond, grassland pond and several wet-weather creeks. The balance of the farm is in open grassland where the property's income has been generated through conservation oriented grazing practices. The landowner's efforts to promote biodiversity of native plants and grasses, control/prevent erosion and create wildlife habitat have worked wonders...

The balance of the farm is in open grassland where the property's income has been generated through conservation oriented grazing practices. The landowner's efforts to promote biodiversity of native plants and grasses, control/prevent erosion and create wildlife habitat have worked wonders. Under this management system, cattle have only been allowed to graze open areas for a few days each year and they have been kept out of the woodlots, creeks, ponds and ravines to preserve the soil and habitat. It's impressive to see Big Bluestem, Little Bluestem, Switchgrass and Indian Grass flourishing and the owner tells me that he hasn't used any synthetic herbicides, pesticides or fertilizers in the 16 years that he has owned it. Hunters will appreciate that it hasn't been hunted since 1999, it "hunts really big," plus there are row crops and hundreds of acres of timber connected to this farm. To top it off, the owner expressed an interest in cash renting for grazing and/or trading grazing rights for hunting rights on over 100 adjacent acres.
