Peoples Company is pleased to represent the Abbey Brianne Paulson Revocable Trust in the sale of 156.04 acres m/l of Greene County, Iowa farmland with additional income from a MidAmerican Wind Turbine lease! The farmland is located in eastern Greene County and just south of Dana, Iowa. The farmland will be sold as two individual farmland tracts with all bidding to take place through Peoples Company’s Online Bidding platform. Last chance to add acres for the upcoming farm year with an open farm lease for the 2025 farm year!

Tract 2: 54.79 Acres M/L with 53.48 tillable acres carrying a CSR2 of 62.5. Tract 2 is included in the Beaver Creek Wind Project and does not have a wind turbine on the property but receives a per acre payment as part of the wind lease.

The farmland tracts are located north of Grand Junction, Iowa on or in close proximity to paved Iowa Highway 144 and in Sections 16 & 21 of Junction Township.
