Grain Storage Facility: Contains a 350,000 bushel Behlen grain bin set up that includes one 250,000 bu. grain bin built in 1984 and two 50,000 bu. bins constructed in 1990. There is a Zimmerman tower dryer that has not been used in 8 years as the grain leg from the dryer to the bins was having issues, and the tower dryer is not currently hooked up to gas. The operator currently dumps grain in the drive-over pit on the south end and feeds into the big leg and secondary leg to feed all three large Behlen bins. The northeast 50,000 bin had new flooring and supports put in last year. All three large bins have concrete tunnel flooring and have recently been resealed. Located in between the three large bins and tower dryer are two 2,000 bu. wet holding hopper bins. These hopper bins have not been used for a while. Located on the property are another four grain bins each 10,000 bu. in size and all were built in 1984. There is a drive-over semi/tractor scale located just northwest of the bin site that worked until 2018. The scale issue is unknown.
Hog Buildings: There are a total of 12 hog buildings throughout the property varying from finishers, nurseries, and farrowing buildings. These buildings were constructed from 1964 - 1990. The pits are 8ft deep and have been pumped periodically throughout the last few years. The remaining slurry in pits consists of solid manure and rainwater. There is a Slurrystore System with an estimated capacity of 1.2 million gallons. The CAFO & Manure Management Plan for this site has been "mothballed", meaning the site is not currently in use. The new owner will need to work with the DNR to file the correct paperwork and pay the appropriate fees to get this site active once again. For more information, please contact the Washington, Iowa DNR Field Office at 319-653-2135 and reference Facility ID #59711.
House & Shop: There is a 2-story 1,352 SF home built in the 1900s. Straight west of the house, there is the shop with concrete floors & insulation. Dwellings, shops, and other improvements will be sold "As Is, Where Is". The Time of Transfer Septic Inspection for the house has been completed and passed. A copy can be found in the attachments below.
With a little work, you can put this site to work for you. The hog buildings on this site are already permitted and head space is there for renovations. A hard-to-come-by operation is here to work for you.
