This offering consists of approximately 40 acres of productive farmland that has historically been used for the cultivation of corn and soybeans. The property is well-suited for continued row crop production and is being offered to an experienced farmer who is committed to maintaining the land as an active, productive agricultural operation. The acreage is currently configured for crop production, with open, tillable fields ready for continued cultivation. The owner places a high value on maintaining an attractive, well-groomed appearance throughout the growing season and is seeking a farmer who takes pride in both productivity and stewardship of the land.
The ideal candidate will be an experienced farmer with a proven background in crop production and access to the necessary farming equipment, or the financial and operational capability to acquire the equipment needed to successfully manage the property. The owner is seeking a long-term relationship with someone who values professionalism, responsible land management, and the opportunity to grow alongside an exciting vision for the property’s future.
The owner’s primary goal is to continue producing quality food while preserving the beauty and long-term health of the property. In addition to traditional farming, the owner has a vision of gradually incorporating agritourism opportunities that complement the agricultural operation. Potential future uses may include seasonal farm experiences, educational events, farm markets, or other activities that celebrate local agriculture.
A collaborative partnership is highly desirable. The owner is interested in exploring a farm-to-table concept, where a portion of the crops or produce grown on the farm could be incorporated into future on-site dining, events, or direct-to-consumer offerings. The owner welcomes creative ideas from qualified farmers who share this vision.
Also located on the property is a 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom farmhouse, which may be available for lease if needed by the selected farming operator or farm manager.
If you are looking for a productive farm with the potential to expand into a unique agritourism and farm-to-table destination, this property offers an exceptional opportunity to build a successful and lasting partnership.

It would be great to make this a working farm again.

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.
