The entire Eastern portion of the property consists of approximately 115 acres of expired CRP grass that can be converted back to cropland, remain in its current state of tall upland habitat, or eventually applied for renewal back into the CRP program at some point. If one chose to convert these acres back to cropland, it certainly has the fertile soil types to make this transition much easier than normal. Over 80% of the expired CRP acres are fertile Class II Harney silt loam soils!

This farm has great diversity with its many recreational qualities provided by great hunting and fishing opportunities provided by the pond and tall upland habitat; the opportunity to add good grass and fertile dirt to an active farming/ranching operation; or the potential for a very scenic and peaceful site for building your future home.
