Located north of 260th Street and east of I-35 south of Ames. The land is highly tillable with 67.16 FSA tillable acres. The land is on the east edge of the Skunk River floodplain with highly productive soils. The corn yield in 2023 was over 200 bu/acre. The land could be irrigated with plenty of water at a reasonable depth. The farm does not get any water from others with a drainage ditch on the north and east side and the DOT right of way ditch on the west. The land is underlain by sand and gravel may be a valuable resource in the future.

Fall Fertilizer and Tillage – We agreed with the farm producer that if we sold the land then the Buyer would be required to either rent or reimburse the producer for their inputs and fieldwork for 2024. Below is a list of these costs which are $13.998.20. You can see the land is well fertilized and ready to go for whoever farms the land in 2024. It is an advantage to the property and any buyer that doesn’t farm and not wanting to hire the producer then they need to pass this along to their operator. This requirement will be in the sale purchase agreement. If anyone wants to talk to the producer we can call them.
