  • Acreage: 11 to 30
  • County: Luzerne

My property has been farmed over the past 5+ years in both corn and soybeans and I am interested in having a farmer come in with long-term goals in mind with a focus on sustainability. Will consider discussions with farmers looking to crop, raise livestock, and/or produce vegetables.

The farmed area represents 13 acres. The land is in the Sweet Valley area and easily accessible off a main road. The land slopes downhill to a wood line before a steep decline to a creek. Soil types are WIC and OID.

I am looking for a rent or lease agreement. There is a large bank barn and well for water access that I would consider to be included in any agreement.
