0000 205th Avenue , Mount Ayr, IA 50854(Ringgold County)

There are 37.85 acres in CRP, CP1 contracts, that are paying $6,251.96 annually in income. There are also an additional 19.3 acres of other tillable ground on the farm, some of which recently came out of CRP and could be put back in for supplemental income or to be utilized for food plots or cash rented. The 8-acre field, actively being farmed, has great soils with CSR2 in the upper 60’s to low 70’s on much of the field. In addition to CRP and cash rent opportunity, there is also a stand of walnut trees on the southwest corner of the property potentially providing some return as well. Some of the other tillable ground not in programs has already been carved out and prepped for food plots in strategic locations around the farm.

From a recreational standpoint, food and security are two contributing factors that make it a standout farm for both turkeys and whitetails. The 8-acre tillable field is centrally located on the property and is the perfect food source to draw deer from neighboring farms. This would be a great location for an elevated blind over a late season food source with the potential to draw and hold a large number of deer in an area otherwise void of major food sources. The secondary 5-acre plot on the west side of the creek is the perfect spot for planting brassica strips and customizing your whitetail meal plan even further.

A county-maintained dead-end road ends at the foot of the driveway of this farm providing easy access to the center of the section away from any traveled roads. Entry from the east and sloping terrain makes sneaking in and out to a variety of pinch-points, funnels, and potential stand locations possible without scent or sight concerns. One main wooded draw runs from the southwest corner of the farm and follows Fletchall Creek northeast where it branches into several other fingers across the farm. Fletchall Creek is a natural corridor for cruising whitetails during the rut and this farm sets up perfectly to capitalize on that fact. A stand of cedars near the pond overlooking the bottom is a natural bedding area that showed lots of deer sign and activity. The paths and trails throughout this property are nothing short of impressive.

This farm hunts and feels bigger than it is and would be a great buy for someone looking for a truly diverse farm with lots of potential! Contact Land Agent Kyle Steinfeldt at (641) 485-7909 to schedule your own private showing of this awesome southern Iowa farm today.
