Property Info

Description

Top-quality, irrigated Benton County, IA farmland available! This property has it all: high-quality soils, pivot irrigation, and a massive shed with storage, shop space, and an office on a hard surface road. The 160-acre m/l farm features 149.4 FSA cropland acres carrying a CSR2 of 82. Although Benton County, Iowa averages 36 inches of rain annually, the irrigation pivot and 800 GPM well pump ensure moisture at optimum times, even in drought years. The 6,600 square foot shop (60 x 80) and office (36 x 50) area were built in 2012 with an 80 x 152 machine shed added in 2021 and are set up perfectly for business space opportunities or farm operation headquarters. The office features a large reception area, three individual offices, a break room, a storage area, and a bathroom.

Extensive field tiling was done in the spring of 2023 to improve productivity and create depreciation possibilities for the new owner. The entire farm is considered Non-Highly Erodible Land (NHEL) and has been determined to not contain a wetland. The current owner is willing to continue renting the farmland or it can be available for the 2024 row-crop season. Benton County is in the heart of one of the most productive farming areas in the US with a myriad of grain marketing options nearby; this property offers more value-added improvements than anything else on the market. The farm is located just south of Mount Auburn, Iowa in Section 23 of Cedar Township, Benton County on the paved 22nd Avenue Trail with additional road frontage along 54th Street.
