This 160+/- acre Ringgold County, Iowa farm features a diverse mix of row crop, hay, and timber acres. The property is located on the Decatur/Ringgold Line on J25 North of Kellerton. The farm totals 149.14 Farmland acres with 133.97 FSA Acres holding a 42.34 CSR2 rating. Approximately 97.75 acres are in soybeans for the 2023 crop year and 24.55 acres are hay, with the balance in waterways and timber. The tenant of 20 years has utilized conservative farming practices to improve and maintain the farm’s soils. During this time, the farm was seeded down for a period of 6 years to restore the soil biomass and water holding capacity. Since planting back to crops, no-till farming practices have been utilized and generous waterways have been left to prevent erosion. For those looking for recreational opportunities, there are 15 m/l acres of timber that connect a large block of timber to the Northeast with timbered pasture to the Southwest. The layout provides several great hidden pockets for food plots and treestand locations. Grand River is one of the most well-known areas for producing giant whitetails, and this property is only a short drive away. In addition, a large 1.3+/- acre pond sits at the head of the timber draw, creating a good water source and fishing opportunities. If you’re looking to expand your farming operation or investment portfolio with a diverse farm that provides recreational opportunities, this could be the property for you.
