Last chance to add acres for the 2023 farm year! The farm lease is OPEN for 2023 and Buyer will be able to take possession immediately. Improvements were made to the farm through the EQIP cost-share program between the years 2016 and 2018 that include 2,769 linear feet of drainage tile, 750 linear feet of terraces, and the installation of several waterways to prevent erosion and slow the speed of water flowing through the farm. See attachments or contact agent for more details. The farm is located a stone’s throw away from several competing grain marketing options including the POET Ethanol Plant two miles south of the farm, grain elevators, and livestock facilities that purchase grain locally. 

The property has great access to nearby paved roads including White Pole Road / Hwy 925 to the south and Co Hwy P28 / Wagon Road to the east. The farm can be found in the NE ¼ of Section 14 in Beaver Township, Guthrie County, Iowa. The single tract will be offered on a price per acre basis via Public Auction and will take place on Wednesday, April 26th, 2023 at 10:00 AM at the Menlo Community Building, Menlo, Iowa. This auction can also be viewed through a Virtual Online Auction option and online bidding will be available.

*Please Note*

The agricultural dwelling will be sold on an "as is, where is" basis. There is a building served by a private sewage disposal system on the property. Any and all septic system inspections, repairs, or replacement will be at the sole cost and responsibility of the buyer and/or the responsibility of vacating the septic system/removing of the home. The winning bidder will be required to execute a binding acknowledgment with the county board of health to either install a new septic system within an agreed upon time or demolish the building with an agreed upon time.

The auction will be conducted as a price per acre basis with the multiplier being 160 acres more or less, which is calculated by adding the taxable acres of 156 listed on the Guthrie County, Iowa Assessor’s and 4 acres for the road right-of-way.
