Farming and Recreation in West Central Cooper County, Missouri

Property Description

Cooper County has a long history of being a productive farming county. So when the opportunity arises to expand your acreage within that area, most don’t wait around for the next one. This is that next opportunity! With 116.5 +/- taxed acres in west central Cooper County, near Pleasant Green, the farm is located well, just north of Highway 135.

With access to the farm off of Ewing Drive, this farm offers 75+ acres of open ground and the remainder consisting of mostly mature timber, including an island of trees on the east field encompassed by beans. This spot proves to be the ideal spot to set up for hunting just about any wind that may be present that day. The south end of the east field looks to be a great strutting area for spring turkeys and an ideal scrape line each fall for the cruising whitetail bucks! With over 75% of the farm ground soil comprised of various silty loams and a Class III rating, the ability to grow crops is there. The 65.6 NCCPI rating supports that and is in line with the county average, which historically produces good yields from corn and soybeans on an annual basis. A power line is run to the highest peak on the east field, allowing the ability to have electricity to a barn or shed.

The farm consists of two parcels, split by the Katy Trail, allowing for access to one of the longest trail systems in the state. Many people use the trail for nature viewing and biking purposes. Farms of this size and make-up seldom hit the open market. Passing up the chance to see it will likely result in having to wait a substantial period of time for another opportunity like this. Farming, hunting, camping, Katy Trail access - these are just the beginning of the opportunities this property presents to the next owner!
