Description

Boone County, Iowa Farmland Auction - Mark your calendar for Friday, October 17th, 2025 at 10 AM! Peoples Company is pleased to be representing the beneficiaries of the Margaret A. Dluhos Revocable Trust in the sale of their family farm located northwest of Woodward, Iowa, and northeast of Bouton, Iowa. The portfolio consists of 235.60 acres m/l and will be offered as two individual tracts. The tracts are located in Sections 26 & 27 of Peoples Township, Boone County, Iowa.

Tract 1: 75.60 acres m/l with 71.88 FSA NHEL cropland acres and a CSR2 soil rating of 88.4
Tract 2: 160 acres m/l with 135.92 FSA NHEL cropland acres and a CSR2 soil rating of 86

The average CSR2 soil rating for the tracts is 87.2, well above the Boone County, Iowa average CSR2 soil rating of 75.5. Prominent soil types include top-producing loam soils of Clarion, Webster, and Nicollet and the cropland acres are Non-Highly Erodible Land (NHEL). The current farm lease has been terminated and the farm is open for the 2026 growing season.

Access to the tracts is from K Avenue and the farms lie within three miles of U.S. Highway 169 and Iowa Highway 141, offering quick access to the Iowa highway system, local grain markets, and the amenities of the Des Moines Metro. Their ideal location makes them great add-on tracts to an existing farming operation or an investment for the Buyer looking to diversify their portfolio or hedge inflation.

The two tracts will be offered on a price per acre basis via Public Auction and will take place on Friday, October 17th, 2025 at 10 AM CST at the Bouton Community Center in Bouton, Iowa. The portfolio will be sold as two individual tracts using the "Buyers Choice" auction method on a price per acre basis, and the high bidder can take, in any order, one or both tracts for their high bid. The "Buyers Choice" auctioning will continue until both tracts have been removed from the auction. Tracts will not be offered in their entirety at the conclusion of the auction. This auction can also be viewed through a Virtual Online Auction option, and online bidding will be available.

Trees surrounding the adjoining acreage site are encroaching on the property and could be removed to increase the amount of cropland acres available.

Description

Tract 2 consists of 160 acres m/l with 135.92 FSA cropland acres and a CSR2 soil rating of 86, well above the Boone County, Iowa average CSR2 soil rating of 75.5. Prominent soil types include highly productive Clarion loam, Webster clay loam, and Nicollet loam. Access to the farm is from the west off K Avenue, and the farm is located northeast of Bouton, Iowa, and northwest of Woodward, Iowa, in Section 26 of Peoples Township, Boone County, Iowa.

The balance of the tract consists of grass waterways and a 22-acre nature retreat established by the previous owner. It includes a man-made pond, three dams, a south-flowing creek, timber, and a 12' x 20' shed built in 2000. Historical imagery indicates the non-tillable area was smaller than it is today, and an incoming buyer could add additional cropland acres to the farm or continue its use as a nature retreat. Contact the listing agent for more details.

Water flows towards the pond and is directed south off the property, eventually outletting into the Little Beaver Creek, just east of Bouton, Iowa. Prior to any drainage improvements, a Wetland Determination will need to be completed.
