Description

Greene County, Iowa Online Only Farmland Auction – Mark your calendar for Thursday, February 20th, 2025! Peoples Company is pleased to represent the Abbey Brianne Paulson Revocable Trust in the sale of 156.03 acres m/l, to be surveyed, of prime Greene County, Iowa farmland. The portfolio consists of two high-quality Central Iowa farmland tracts located north of Grand Junction, Iowa and within close proximity to paved Iowa Highway 144 in Sections 16 & 21 of Junction Township. These farms have been farmed organically in the past, and an incoming buyer would have an opportunity to continue to farm them organically.

Tract 1: 101.25 Acres M/L (acres subject to change after survey is completed) with 95.57 tillable acres carrying a CSR2 of 77.1
Tract 2: 54.79 Acres M/L (acres subject to change after survey is completed) with 53.48 tillable acres carrying a CSR2 of 62.5

These nearly 100% tillable farmland tracts are located in a strong farming community and would make for great add-on tracts to an existing farming operation or an investment for the Buyer looking to diversify their portfolio or hedge inflation. There are several grain marketing outlets located nearby, including grain elevators and ethanol plants, with the Louis Dreyfus Company grain elevator and ethanol plant located half a mile south of Tract 2.

The current farm lease has been terminated and farming rights are available for the 2025 growing season.

Alliant Energy owns multiple substations north of the tracts near Paton, Iowa and south of the tracts in Grand Junction, Iowa, with the tracts lying in between. An overhead transmission line runs between the transmission stations along Iowa Highway 144. These substations have a capacity of 69 Kilovolt and could offer additional land use options for an incoming buyer.

Beaver Creek Wind Project
These two tracts were enrolled in a Windpark Easement Agreement with Mid-American in 2016. Tract 1 has a wind turbine, and receives payments on the turbine, the underlying wires and hardware, and the land. Tract 2 does not have a wind turbine, but receives a payment for the land. The Windpark Easement Agreement will transfer with the land, and the incoming buyers will receive the 2025 wind payments for the respective tracts. Contact the listing agent for more details.

These two tracts will be offered through a ONLINE ONLY auction. Bidding is currently LIVE and will remain open until Thursday, February 20th, 2025 at 3:00 PM Central Time Zone (CST).
