Diverse Row Crop Farm with Hunting and Pond

This 160+/- acre Ringgold County, Iowa farm features a diverse mix of row crop, hay, and timber acres.  The property is located on the Decatur/Ringgold Line at the intersection of J25 North of Kellerton between Beaconsfield and Grand River, Iowa. 

From FSA records, the farm totals 149.14 Farmland acres with 133.97 FSA Acres holding a 42.34 CSR2 rating.  Currently, approximately 97.75 acres are planted to soybeans for the 2023 crop year and 24.55 acres are in hay, with the balance in waterways and timber.   

The same farmer has operated this land for nearly 20 years and has utilized conservative farming practices to improve and maintain the farm’s soils.  During this time, the farm was seeded down for a period of 6 years to restore the soil biomass and water holding capability.  Since planting back to crops, only no-till farming practices have been utilized, and generous waterways have been left to prevent erosion.   

 For the investment minded buyer that wants some recreational opportunities, there are nearly 15 acres of timber that connect a larger block of timber to the Northeast with some timbered pasture to the Southwest.  The layout provides several archery hunting setups as well as some great hidden pockets for late season food plots.  Grand River is one of the most well-known areas for producing giant whitetails, and this property is only a short drive from some of the best deer hunting in Iowa.   

In addition, a large 1.3+/- acre pond sits at the head of the timber draw, creating a good water source and fishing opportunities. 

If you’re looking to expand your farming operation or investment portfolio with a diverse piece of property that provide some weekend recreational opportunities, this could be the property for you.
