40 +/- Acres of Established Brome Hay & Future Row Crop Potential - South

Property Description

Located 4 miles west of Hillsboro, this 40 +/- acre tract offers an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-maintained agricultural property with established hay production and future row crop potential. The property consists of a clean, well-established stand of brome grass that has been maintained for approximately 15 years, following roughly 10 years of alfalfa production. There are approximately 2.25 acres of clean native grass on the east side. With a long history of responsible land stewardship, this tract is in excellent condition and offers flexibility for continued hay production or conversion back to cultivated cropland.

The property is comprised almost entirely of Irwin silty clay loam soils with gentle 1 to 3 percent slopes and an average NCCPI rating of 55.9. The field lies exceptionally well, with approximately 20 feet of elevation change across the entire tract. Its uniform topography, consistent soil profile, and lack of wasted acreage provide an efficient layout for agricultural operations.

One of the property's most attractive features is its potential to be converted from established brome hay production back into row crops. Having remained in perennial forage production for approximately 25 years, the soil has benefited from improved organic matter, soil structure, and nutrient cycling. This extended period outside of annual row crop production presents an appealing opportunity for buyers looking to return the property to row crop production.

According to FSA records, all of the acres that make up this tract are designated as cropland acres. The amount of base acres would need to be determined during FSA's farm division process, due to this tract being tied to other tracts.

Whether utilized for continued brome and prairie hay production or transitioned into row crops, this property offers a combination of productive soils, favorable topography, and excellent overall condition. Mineral rights are believed to be intact and will transfer to the buyer with the sale. For questions about the property, contact the listing agent, Shaun Reid, at (316) 210-6680.
