Description

Guthrie County, Iowa Farmland Auction - Mark your calendar for Thursday, May 12th, 2022 at 10:00 AM! Peoples Company is pleased to be representing Rodolph H. Compton in the sale of 139.75 total acres m/l located in north central Guthrie County, Iowa. Situated between Guthrie Center, Iowa, and Bayard, Iowa, the farm consists of a total of 139.75 acres m/l with 68.90 FSA cropland acres carrying a CSR2 soil rating of 74.1. Currently, all farmable acres are enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) until 2027. The CRP practice is CP-42 (Pollinator Habitat) and has a current annual payment of $22,954 ($333.15/acre). The balance of the farmland includes approximately 63 acres of pasture. The pasture is comprised of cool-season grasses with a 0.75-acre pond in the center of the farm and well-maintained five-strand, barbed-wire exterior fences (See Approved Driveway Entrance & Fence Map).

A survey is in progress to separate the acreage site, locally known as 1662 Koala Avenue, Guthrie Center, Iowa 50115, and being sold separately, from the rest of the farm. The farmland acres are subject to change prior to the auction. The original farm entrance is being included with the acreage site, so a new driveway entrance will be created. Immediately adjacent to the proposed southern boundary of the acreage site, the new 45' wide driveway entrance has been approved by the Guthrie County Road Department (see Approved Driveway Entrance & Fence Map). The corrugated pipe for the driveway has been purchased and will be installed prior to Closing by the Seller. There is approximately one-half acre of the current CRP contract proposed to be bought out to install the new driveway entrance into the farm (see Current CRP Map). The farmland tract is located in Section 2 of Seely Township, Guthrie County, Iowa.

The farmland will be offered as a single tract on a price per acre basis through a traditional auction. The Public Auction will take place on Thursday, May 12th at 10:00 AM at the Guthrie Activity Center, 209 State Street, Guthrie Center, Iowa 50115. This auction can also be viewed through a Virtual Online Auction option and online bidding will be available.
