Landowner: #30163

108 acre farm. 30+ acres currently available for management intensive grazing. This land has been in CRP for 40 years. Our goal as owners is to have the land grazed so that the soil becomes magnificently productive and healthy and supports magnificent and healthy livestock!

There is currently no infrastructure-no fencing, no water- so it’s a “blank slate”. There is a large bank barn which will be rehabbed in the next 1-2 years. There is a 1-2 acre pond, and a small stream.

In the future there is a possibility for an additional 30 some acres to be added (we currently lease to a farmer who harvests hay.)

The farm has been in the family for 100+ years. It was formerly used as a dairy and crop farm until the late 1950s, then grazed a few cattle and harvested hay for several decades, then rented to a farmer for commodity crops for several decades. The farm is currently partially idle and partially hay cropped. We do not want chemical sprays or commercial fertilizers used.
