The FSA 81.65 tillable acres have a CSR2 of 67.3 and NCCPI of 83.7. The soil consists of predominantly Humeston silty clay loam and Dockery quiver silt loam. All of the tillable land has a 0-2% slope and is tiled laying north of the Platte River. The 10-year APH shows the farm has not flooded and the last 3-year yield history includes 76 bushels per acre of beans and 194 bushels per acre of corn. The owner currently farms the ground but current farm bids include up to $350/acre rent for a long-term agreement beginning in 2024.

Recreational use is excellent on the property between whitetail hunting, turkey hunting, fishing, and waterfowl hunting. We jumped and saw over 30 deer on the farm during photos and it is evident a ton of whitetail use the farm. We saw and heard multiple gobblers within the neighborhood. The north boundary of the property has a low-water creek and marsh area that we saw several ducks and geese use frequently. The southern boundary is the Platte River, and this section is predominately shallow with easy access. The Platte River is home to gar, catfish, carp, and the occasional white bass. Surrounding properties are a mix of timber, dense CRP, and crop ground, creating an ideal wildlife habitat in the immediate neighborhood.

This is a long-time owned and operated farm that has been well maintained. The operator would continue to farm the property on a crop share or cash rent agreement if the new landowner desired or a new operator could begin in 2024. This farm is a strong producer and diverse recreational farm that would make a very sustainable purchase for an operator or a buy-and-hold investment purchase looking for an asset with an annual return and year-to-year appreciation.
