Property Description
Located just north of Jamaica, Iowa, along the southeastern edge of Greene County near the Guthrie County line, this 40.86-acre farm presents an excellent opportunity to purchase highly productive Iowa farmland with an impressive 87.7 average CSR2 soil rating, excellent road frontage, and open tenancy for the 2027 crop year.

The property consists of 40.86 gross surveyed acres, including approximately 35.86 estimated tillable acres. The farm features some of Iowa’s most desirable agricultural soils, including Nicollet loam, Clarion loam, and Webster clay loam. According to the accompanying soil report, the 38.03 mapped acres carry a weighted average CSR2 rating of 87.7, reflecting the strong agricultural productivity of this tract. The soil rating represents the mapped net acreage rather than exclusively the estimated tillable acres.

The farm was planted to corn during the 2026 growing season. Approximately 2.5 acres consist of established grassed waterways, providing drainage and soil conservation benefits. The remaining acreage includes approximately 2.5 acres of road right-of-way. No drainage tile or tile maps are currently known to be available.

One of the property’s standout features is its excellent accessibility. The farm is positioned at the northeast corner of paved Quest Avenue (Highway P30) and gravel 330th Street, offering road frontage along both its western and southern boundaries. This convenient location provides accessibility for agricultural equipment and makes the property an attractive addition to an existing farming operation.

The farm will be offered with open tenancy for the 2027 crop year. The existing farm tenancy has been formally terminated effective March 1, 2027, providing the next owner with flexibility to operate the farm or negotiate a new rental arrangement. This is an appealing feature for farmers looking to expand their operations and investors interested in establishing their own cash rental agreements.

The 40.86-acre tract is being separated from a larger family-owned farm. Following the division, the Farm Service Agency (FSA) will need to reconstitute the farm records to establish the new tract’s official FSA acreage and associated farm information. The advertised 35.86 tillable acres are estimates and subject to FSA verification.

Whether you’re a local farmer looking to add highly productive acres to your operation or an agricultural investor seeking quality Iowa farmland, this Greene County property offers an attractive combination of strong soil productivity, convenient access, and flexibility for the 2027 growing season.

The combination of high-quality soils and approximately 35.86 estimated tillable acres makes this a desirable agricultural property for continued row crop production.

Note: Soil map boundaries cover approximately 38.03 acres and differ slightly from the surveyed 38.36 net acres. The CSR2 rating is calculated across the mapped acreage, including non-tillable areas.

Farm Tenancy & FSA Information:
The property was planted to corn during the 2026 growing season. Historical and current crop yield information is not available.

Because the property is being divided from a larger approximately 120-acre family farm, the FSA will need to reconstitute the farm records following the division. The estimated 35.86 tillable acres are not yet separately established through FSA reconstitution, and buyers should verify the final acreage and farm records with the appropriate FSA office.
