Jackson County Grain & Game

Property Description

This 68 +/- acre Jackson County farm just off Highway 367 in Swifton, Arkansas, offers row crop production alongside hardwood timber that appeals to both deer and duck hunters.

Approximately 42 acres of precision-leveled tillable ground are primarily suited to rice and soybean production. Irrigation is provided by an electric, 8-inch, submersible well that conveys with the property. Electricity is on site, providing power to the well. A road around the field provides access for checking crops and managing water or sneaking into your hunting spot. The tillable acreage was farmed under a 75/25 crop-share arrangement last season. A splash-board riser at the bottom end provides water control during the crop season as well as the ability to flood the field during waterfowl season.

Additionally, 26 +/- acres of primarily hardwood timber complement the field. This combination provides deer with escape cover, a food source, and the edge habitat they desire. An existing road and culvert already necessitate partial flooding of the woods for even more available waterfowl habitat. Extending flooding throughout the timber could be made possible by adding minor levee enhancements and a water-control structure.

With the Cache River, Black River, and Village Creek nearby, the farm sits in northeast Arkansas's well-known waterfowl country. The region's river bottoms, flooded timber, and agricultural fields provide important feeding and resting habitat along the Mississippi Flyway, drawing migrating and wintering waterfowl to this part of Arkansas.

Just in time for hunting season, this Swifton farm is the place to watch the sun rise over a decoy spread and spend the fall afternoon in a deer stand.
