The owner of this farm is extremely meticulous, and has taken great care to preserve the top soil through conservative farming practices such as no-till drilling. The majority of the tillable acres on this tract have 70 CSR2 soils and are already planted to beans for 2019. Terraces separate the North and South half of the farms, and are enrolled in CRP along with the other more rolling portions of the farm. Together, the crops and CRP generate a healthy return for the new owner. The Level C road runs along the East border of the North 80 section, providing easy access to the lower farm fields. Remember, when cash rents are pressured, the large flat fields like on this farm will command a higher premium than other farms than similar quality farms with smaller chopped up fields.
In addition to the income, this property has numerous recreational opportunities. This farm is part of a huge section of timber that has been intensely managed going back more than a decade. Giant whitetails, several in the 170's and 2 scoring in the 190's have been taken out of this section by the owner. The seclusion and habitat diversity create a farm that holds way more deer than expected, and the quality of this area is simply overlooked (preferred by most serious hunters). Corn plots are strategically planted directing all the deer right toward a comfortable tower blind, creating the perfect ambush location with ideal access. Due to the timbered draws and rolling portions of the NW corner of the farm, several pinch points create ideal funnels and potential tree stand sites too. The Grand River cuts through the SE corner of this property, providing a great place to relax and do some fishing. Additionally, 2 ponds and a creek provide additional water sources for the wildlife here. The turkey and pheasant population are also strong, due to the perfect mix of cover and income acres.
This farm really has the best of both worlds; its a really good income producing farm, in an area with a proven history of big bucks. For more details, contact KILOTERRA Broker Chuck Johnson
