Description
Wright County, Iowa Farmland Auction – Mark your calendar for Friday, November 1st, 2024 at 10:00 AM! Peoples Company is pleased to be representing the Schmidt Family Heirs in the sale of 155 total acres m/l located two miles southwest of Alexander, Iowa on the Wright / Franklin County line. The ‘Schmidt Farm’ has provided returns for three generations and was acquired in the late 1930s. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to purchase land that hasn’t been available to the public for almost 100 years!
This high-quality north-central Iowa farm consists of 152.11 FSA tillable acres with a CSR2 soil rating of 83.7, well above the Wright County average CSR2 soil rating of 77. Primary soil types include highly productive Webster clay loam, Nicollet clay loam, and Canisteo clay loam with the cropland acres certified as Non-Highly Erodible Land (NHEL). There is no Wetland Determination on file for this tract. This farm has been operated by a highly reputable local farm tenant for over 20 years, who has been a steward to both the farm and the Schmidt Family. The farming rights are open for the 2025 farm year.
County tile lines ranging in size from 6" to 12" are located on the property. The property is situated in Joint Drainage District #228/85, with part of the Drainage District in Franklin County, Iowa. The 10-12" tile line on the property connects to a 40" tile main that runs northwest of the farm. Water flows west/northwest off the farm into the 40" main and then flows south, out letting into a creek in Section 27 of Iowa Township. See the attached "Tile Map" for approximate tile locations. Per discussions with the County Drainage Clerk, there are no ongoing repairs or large projects currently planned and that are currently being assessed against the property.
Located southwest of the 180th Street / Wright Avenue intersection in Section 13 of Iowa Township, this farm has great access to area grain markets including the ethanol plant in Goldfield, Iowa and a variety of grain elevators. The farm would make a great add-on to an existing farming operation or a good farmland opportunity for an investor as there are several high caliber farm operators/tenants in the area. The single tract will be offered on a price-per-acre basis via Public Auction and will take place on November 1st, 2024 at 10:00 AM in the Latimer Community Center in Latimer, Iowa. This auction can also be viewed through a Virtual Online Auction option and online bidding will be available.
