Description

Calhoun County, Iowa Farmland Auction - Mark your calendars for Wednesday, November 19th, 2025, at 10:00 AM! Peoples Company is pleased to represent the Bevis Family Trust in the sale of their family farm located north of Rockwell City, Iowa, and just east of Twin Lakes, Iowa. The portfolio consists of 152.80 acres that will be offered as two individual tracts via public auction utilizing the "Buyers Choice" auction method. These nearly 100% tillable tracts include 152.33 cropland acres and an average CSR2 soil rating of 86.4, with primary soil types of highly productive Clarion loam, Webster clay loam, and Canisteo clay loam. These tracts are located in Section 6 of Center Township, Calhoun County, Iowa.

Tract 1: 57.85 acres m/l (to be surveyed) with an estimated 57.76 FSA cropland acres and a CSR2 soil rating of 86
Tract 2: 94.95 acres m/l (to be surveyed) with an estimated 94.57 FSA cropland acres and a CSR2 soil rating of 86.6

These tracts are contiguous and have been farmed together in a corn and soybean rotation having been planted north to south. Of the 152.33 cropland acres, 113.47 are in row crop production and carry an average CSR2 soil rating of 87.5. The balance of the cropland acres includes 38.46 acres enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) that expires in September 2027. The average CSR2 soil rating for the CRP acres is 83.1, making them very conducive for row-crop farming, and will be eligible to be farmed once the CRP has expired.

The CRP contract details are listed below:

Contract #11519C - 38.46 Acres enrolled in the Farmable Wetlands Program (Practices CP27 & CP28) with an annual payment of $11,538 ($300/acre). This contract is set to expire in September 2027. See the individual tracts for more information.

The farm is situated in Drainage District #114 and #65, and County Drainage Tile is located on both tracts, draining water west off the farm, eventually outletting into an open ditch in Section 1, just west of the property. Paved County Highways border the tract boundaries, and the farms are situated just north of U.S Highway 20 and a mile and a half east of Iowa Highway 4. *If bought separately, Tract 2 will have a driveway installed off County Highway N57 at the Seller's expense. This proximity to the Iowa Highway system offers quick access to multiple grain marketing options including the Landus Cooperative in Rockwell City and the Pro Cooperative Manson Elevator in Manson. These high-quality farmland tracts are located in a strong farming community and would make for a great add-on tracts to an existing farming operation or an investment for the Buyer looking to diversify their portfolio or hedge inflation. Farming rights are available for the 2026 growing season

The two tracts will be offered on a price per acre basis via Public Auction and will take place on Wednesday, November 19th, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST at the Calhoun County Expo Center in Rockwell City, Iowa. The farm 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. "Buyers Choice" auctioning will continue until both tracts have been purchased and 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.

Prominent soil types include Clarion loam, Webster clay loam, and Canisteo clay loam. Of the cropland acres, there are currently 10.76 acres enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). These acres carry an average CSR2 soil rating of 79.3 and would be conducive to farming.

The remaining 47 cropland acres are in a corn and soybean rotation, with majority of the field planted as soybeans for the 2025 growing season. These acres have a CSR2 soil rating of 87.6. Historically, this tract has been farmed north to south, but could easily be farmed east to west as most of the tract is in beans this season, and corn could readily be planted in the bean acres next season.

Prominent soil types include Clarion loam, Webster clay loam, and Canisteo clay loam. Of the cropland acres, there are approximately 27.70 acres enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). These acres carry an average CSR2 soil rating of 84.6 and would be conducive to farming.

The CRP contract details are listed below:

Contract #11519C - 27.70 Acres enrolled in the Farmable Wetlands Program (Practices CP27 & CP28) with an annual payment of $8,310 ($300/acre) this contract is set to expire in September 2027. See the attached 'CRP Map' for approximate locations.

The balance of the tract consists of 66.87 cropland acres currently in a corn and soybean rotation. These acres have a CSR2 soil rating of 87.5.

This tract has been farmed north to south, but could readily be farmed east to west. The farm lease has been terminated and farming rights are available for the 2026 growing season.

The notch in the western boundary of the tract is owned by the neighbor to the north and that property's well is located on that parcel. An additional 0.06 acres were included in the original CRP acres for this tract, but will not be included once the acres are reconstituted with a new buyer. The CRP acres are the best estimate of Peoples Company.

Tract 2 lies within both Drainage District #144 and #65. County Drainage Tile is located on the tract, draining water northwest off the farm into a County Main that outlets into an open ditch in the adjoining Section. See the attached 'Tile Map' for approximate sizes and locations. If bought separately, a driveway will be installed along the western boundary of the farm. The Calhoun County engineer office has been contacted and confirmed a driveway can be installed in various locations off County Highway N57. The driveway will be installed at the Seller's expense.
