Bid from anywhere on 80.18 acres of Kearney County, Nebraska farmland—one of the best-located tracts to hit the market this year. This online-only auction features 57.6 acres of highly productive, non-irrigated cropland with mostly Holdrege silt loam soils, plus quality pasture ground, all located along a paved road just south of Norman, Nebraska.

The farm offers Holdrege silt loam cropland, good pasture, paved-road access and a location near ethanol production, livestock facilities and major grain terminals.
