1989 295th, North English, IA 52316

Located in an area where land is tightly held, this farm sits just 13 miles from Williamsburg, northwest of North English, and only 25 miles from downtown Iowa City in southern Iowa County. Some would call this southern Iowa, while others may consider it more central Iowa. Either way, it represents everything people love about the state — productive farmland, rolling hills, hardwood timber, pasture, ponds, and incredible countryside views. Approximately half of the farm is currently in a no-till corn and soybean rotation, providing income today while also offering future conservation opportunities. With the rolling terrain, there is potential to convert portions of the hillsides into CRP while maintaining the ridgetops for alfalfa or grain production, creating an even more diverse and wildlife-friendly landscape. The 15-acre pasture area has been out of livestock production for about five years. It has started to become brushy, but is still in a great window for restoration. A new owner could easily bring it back into productive pasture or allow it to transition into valuable whitetail habitat. The farm also includes approximately 39 acres that were planted to soybeans this year. While weed pressure impacted the crop and the field was recently sprayed, the ground offers potential as a CRP candidate, with an average CSR2 rating of 49. One of the standout features of this property is the historic wooden barn overlooking the farm. Two ponds are another highlight.
