KILOTERRA is proud to present this high-quality tillable farm in Cass County, Iowa.  This farm is available to the public market for the first time in three generations, and offers the rare opportunity to own an investment grade property with pavement access and multiple improvements already in place.

This property is located in Section 19 of Lincoln Township and will be offered in a single tract containing 151.40 of farmland with 142.89 FSA tillable acres carrying a CSR2 of 70.4 including Marshall silty clay loam soils. The balance of the farm is in terraces and well-maintained grass waterways.  The existing long-term tenant has taken great care of this property, utilizing conservation farming practices on a corn / bean rotation, and additional tiling has recently been installed to improve drainage.  The same long-term tenant has the farm leased for the 2023 crop season, and the buyer will receive a credit at closing for the pro-rated cash rent. Possession will be at closing, subject to tenant’s rights.
