Description

Peoples Company is pleased to be representing Linda K. Sheriff in the sale of Guthrie County, Iowa farmland! The farmland will be offered as a single tract through a live in-person auction as well as a virtual live online auction option. The auction will take place at 10:00 AM on Wednesday, March 2nd, 2022 at the Menlo Community Center, 417 Sherman Street, Menlo, Iowa 50164. This affordable tract consists of 62.79 acres m/l with an estimated 58.10 FSA tillable acres. The farm is located within a great farming community and would be a great starting farm for a beginning farmer, an add-on to an existing farming operation, or an investment opportunity for the Buyer looking to diversify their portfolio. Currently, there are 55.41 acres being farmed with an additional 3.66 acres of grassed waterways. The farm includes a conservation plan with a corn and soybean rotation.

The balance of the farm consists of timber located on both sides of the small creek flowing through the middle of the farm with a marginal crossing. In addition, there are well-maintained perimeter fences on all, but the west side of the property. Improvements include electric and rural water at the road. Rural water is offered through Xenia Rural Water District (2 1/2" waterline along the south side of 325th Street) and electric service through Guthrie County REC (located along the south side of 325th Street).

Highlights of the area include several grain marketing options located nearby including a POET ethanol plant located east of Menlo, Iowa offering competitive bidding. Farming rights are available for the 2022 cropping season. This land would be a great add-on to an existing farming operation or a smart investment for the Buyer looking to diversify their portfolio. The farmland is located approximately one mile north and one-half mile east of Menlo, Iowa in Section 22 of Beaver Township, Guthrie County, Iowa.
