Open tenancy for the 2026 growing season!

The property is primarily operated in a corn and soybean rotation, with approximately 116± acres of tillable cropland and 40.12 acres enrolled in CRP (CP23A), providing stable annual income of approximately $8,567 through September 30, 2031. The farm features good access and gentle topography and is well situated southwest of Claremont, centrally located between the Britton, Groton, and Aberdeen grain markets.

The cropland acres are supported by a diverse and productive soil profile, including Harmony-Beotia, Beotia, Eckman-Gardena, and Camtown-Turton soils, representing a solid mix of Class II and Class III soils. This soil composition contributes to a weighted CPI around 80 and NCCPI near 57, consistent with strong agricultural ground in this area of Brown County.

This property offers a strong combination of productivity, income, and location, making it well suited for both operational expansion and long-term investment in one of Brown County’s most active land markets. The seller reserves the right to review and consider any and all written offers submitted prior to the auction.
