This family farm originated from the late Lewis Coon sometime in the early 1870’s and has provided for the family for more than four generations, or over 150 years earning the prestigious Heritage Farm status.

This nearly 100% tillable farm consists of 75.11 FSA tillable acres with an above average CSR2 soil rating of 86.9. (The average CSR2 rating for Greene County is 78). The primary soil types on this tract include top-producing Canisteo, Nicollet, and Clarion loams. The farm is located four miles northwest of Rippey, Iowa, and five miles southwest of Grand Junction, Iowa on the northwest corner of the 270th Street and T Avenue intersection.

The most recent farmer is local to the area and has operated the farm under a crop share agreement ever since the Coon Family retired from farming. This farm has produced consistently strong yields with APH (Actual Production History) records of 198 bushels per acre for corn and 57 bushels per acre for soybeans; compared to the 10-year average yields for Greene County of 182 for corn and 52 for soybeans. The most recent 5-year average corn yield has been 212 bushels per acre. The farm lease has been terminated and farming rights for 2023 will be open for the 2023 crop season.
