Lot 8 is a clean cropland-focused tract with approximately 143 acres +/- of tillable/cropland out of 144.56 total acres +/-. This makes it a very straightforward farming parcel with limited non-crop acres. The lot should appeal to operators looking for usable cropland, simple management, and a tract that fits well as either an individual purchase or part of a larger farm expansion.

Beyond the individual lot details, the recreational value of this property is a major part of its appeal. The combination of cropland, CRP, wetlands, creek corridors, cattail areas, and open prairie creates excellent habitat for pheasants, deer, waterfowl, and other prairie wildlife. The photos show the kind of habitat hunters look for in this region: thick grass cover, water pockets, crop fields, cattail edges, nesting cover, and broad open feeding areas. Pheasants benefit from the CRP acres, grass cover, and nearby grain production, while deer use the draws, creek bottoms, low wetland pockets, grass cover, and field edges for travel, bedding, and feeding.

The water and creeks features on the properties add another important layer of value. In western North Dakota and water and cover are key ingredients for holding wildlife. The low areas, wetland influence and ponds and corridors across the property help create natural travel routes and habitat diversity. These areas can provide waterfowl use during favorable moisture years and support upland birds by creating brood-rearing areas, insect habitat, and protective cover. Deer will often use these same creek corridors, draws, and cattail areas as movement routes between feeding and bedding locations.

The topography is classic Northern Plains country, with gently rolling fields, broad horizons, open cropland, grassed draws, and subtle elevation changes. The land is open enough for efficient farming, but it has enough roll and structure to create character, water movement, and wildlife use. Large field layouts allow for modern equipment and practical farm management, while the CRP acres, creek areas, and low pockets break up the farm and give the property a stronger recreational component.

The weather in this region is part of the farming and ranching story. This area experiences true four-season Northern Plains weather, with cold winters, windy springs, warm summers, and beautiful fall harvest seasons. Spring brings planting, nesting birds, and new grass growth. Summer brings long days, crop development, haying, livestock movement, and strong prairie sun. Fall brings harvest, pheasant season, deer activity, and some of the best outdoor weather of the year. Winter can be harsh, but the cover provided by CRP, cattails, grass, and draws becomes especially important for wildlife survival.

The surrounding area also supports the needs of farmers, ranchers, hunters, and landowners. Lemmon, South Dakota, is nearby and offers fuel, dining, ag services, livestock support, farm and home supply options, and everyday conveniences. Lemmon Livestock Auction Arena is a known regional livestock auction arena serving ranchers and cattle producers throughout the area. Hettinger, North Dakota, offers additional restaurants, shopping, county services, fairgrounds, livestock and rodeo events, and community amenities. Within a roughly 60-mile working radius, producers can evaluate grain delivery and marketing options in communities such as Lemmon, Hettinger, Mott, New England, Bowman, as well as Elgin and Dickinson nearby and other regional ag centers depending on crop type, contracts, freight, and current basis.

Overall, the Edith Christman Q-TIP Trust property is a well-rounded Adams County land offering with scale, cropland, CRP income, hunting habitat, water features, and long-term investment appeal. With 1,708.81 acres +/-, 8 lots, 14 parcels, 1,593.16 FSA cropland acres, 1,144.70 total base acres, 354.42 CRP acres, and a mix of productive soils and strong habitat, this property should attract interest from farmers, ranchers, investors, and outdoorsmen alike. It is large enough to serve as a meaningful expansion unit, diverse enough to support both income and recreation, and located in a region where agriculture, livestock, hunting, and rural communities remain deeply connected.
