Jefferson County - Ash Ave, Batavia, IA
57.75 acres Open Prairie Southern Jefferson County
This farm is located 5.7 miles south of Batavia, Iowa on Ash Ave. This farm has beautiful prairie enrolled in the Conservation Recovery Program (CRP). The first sound heard as you walk onto the property is a pheasant rooster cackle. This farm is 57.75 acres on a well maintained gravel road. About 3 miles of Ash south from Batavia is paved. The remaining 2.7 miles is gravel. Continuing south would take you to highway 16 which leads to Eldon, Iowa to the west or scenic Van Buren County to the east.
This farm has two driveways. One driveway is on the north end of 270th street near the north east corner of the farm. The other driveway is on Ash Ave heading south across from the house on the east side of Ash. On the North West corner of the farm is a buried natural gas lined maintained by local gas company.
The farm is contiguous prairie across the whole farm. The north end is considerably flat with a gradual slope to the south. In the northeast corner is roughly 1.3 acres of mid-successional timber. Along the western fence line leads to a thick brushy draw close to 3 acres. Some evidence of deer sign with a few rubs. A food plot could be planted around this draw to either bring in whitetail deer or perhaps a food plot geared for upland game birds. As of now (with permission from the Farm Service Agency), a landowner in the CRP program can set aside 10% of the ground (depending on which practice) for a food plot. A food plot of soybeans with an intermixing of cereal grains such as rye and winter wheat would be a great winter food plot for late season whitetail hunting. A landowner could also plant grain sorghum that would also offer a late season food source option for whitetail deer, but at the same time benefiting upland game birds such as pheasants that would allow extra winter cover and food.
The draw could be enhanced using hinge cutting to guide the whitetail deer by a well-placed tree stand geared for bow hunting or shotgun season.
This property is ideal for a homestead either close to the road or about 400 to 450 yards to the south is a picturesque view of the rolling hills that defines the Southern Iowa Driftplain. A peak of the Des Moines River glimmering in the afternoon sun can be seen from this spot.
Currently, 50.04 acres is in the Conservation Recovery Program. 32.69 acres is in the CP42 Pollinator and 17.35 acres is a CP1.
According to the results of the Website Soil Survey and with inclusion of a tested and tried true formula from Iowa State University resulted the farms CSR of the 50 tillable acres is 50.8

PRICE REDUCTION
Located south west of Fairfield, Iowa lays an ideal farm for anyone whose a passionate conservationist, hunter, or someone wanting to escape to the country and build a home.
This beautiful farm has several fields enrolled into the Conservation Recovery Program (CRP). CRP is a federal program that offers annual payments ranging from 10-15 years. The program is eligible mostly for below average farm ground. In exchange, our native prairie plants such as Bigblue stem, Indian grass, and a variety of our native forbs (prairie flowers; are planted to create wildlife habitat and bio-diversity.
In the central part of the farm lays an unique crescent moon hay field with thick grass and alfalfa. The alfalfa presents as an opportunistic food plot during those early and mid season archery hunts. This crescent moon hay field would be ideal for a local farmer to cut hay. At the north east tip of this crescent moon field is a 1.5 acre food plot with an elevated blind. The food plot was drilled with a diverse fall food plot mix consisting of winter oats, wheat, rye, peas, radish, and crimson clover. The plot was drilled on 9/1/2025. The area is in a dry spell so with some rain the food plot will be gorgeous. This plot mix is ideal for all seasons archery into the gun seasons.
North of the crescent moon hay field is a 1.25 bottom food plot. This plot was drilled the same day as the north plot with the same mix with added white clover. The white clover will make this plot shine on this bottom soil type. Another great spot for early and mid archery seasons and sometimes into the gun seasons!
The west side of the farm has an acre field that would be an ideal food plot. The field has timber surrounding the plot, a stocked pond to the east, and a blind at the entrance of the potential plot.
Along the south west corner of the fields is another gate to the road with a shed. The shed would be useful for parking a vehicle out of the sun under the lean too and storing hunting gear, tools, and small equipment inside. This shed sits on just under an acre field. This spot would be ideal for building a home or a hunting cabin.
The west side of the property consists of a diverse timber. The timber connects too all the food plots and along the property line. The timber consists of black walnuts, oaks, hickories, elm, basswood, and hackberries. This timber tracts offers excellent hunting opportunities for multiple different winds. This draw is also adorned with massive wolf oaks. Wolf oaks describe massive oak trees with broad trunks and wild canopies. These wolf oaks are Iowas native Bur Oaks. These massive bur oaks are priceless for their wildlife value in providing acorns for all wildlife. These bur oaks provide a future opportunity for more bur oak propagation also their massive canopies offer perfect roosting for turkeys.
