Premium 322.15-Acre Grass & Livestock Farm with CRP Income, Building Sites & Recreation in New Virginia, Iowa
Peoples Company is pleased to present the George and Trudy Ernst Farm, a 322.15 acre m/l combination farm located on US Highway 69 on the Clarke/Warren County line. The property currently consists of premium, turn-key pastureland, top-tier livestock improvements, CRP, and excellent building sites along the highway. The chance to acquire a dependable grass farm that includes highly productive acres, recreation, and the opportunity to build a forever home within 30 minutes of Des Moines is second to none. The Seller is also open to selling the home and outbuildings in conjunction with the land offering.
Land
The farm consists of approximately 271.75 FSA cropland acres, of which an estimated 134.41 are currently enrolled in income generating CRP and carry a CSR2 of 52.8. The balance of cropland and overall acres includes premium pasture fenced off into 5 individual paddocks, great water sources via good ponds and creeks, hardwood draws including desirable walnut and oak trees, and premium building sites off of the new US Highway 69 blacktop overlooking the entire farm. The land also features various qualities that make it an excellent hunting and recreational farm. The whitetail population and genetics in this area are consistent with what makes Iowa whitetail hunting the best in the country.
The CRP acres include very productive land with mainly Grundy and Arispe silty clay loam soils that could be farmed in the future or used for feed production. There are multiple active CRP contracts generating $29,107 of annual income. A breakdown of all 4 CRP contracts is below:
- 61.78 acres, CP42 paying $14,424 annually ($233.47/acre) through 2027

Excellent access is provided via convenient entrances, creek crossings, and property flow that is conducive to getting work done. Steeper areas of the farm include dry ponds to significantly decrease water flow after rainfall events to prevent erosion and preserve soil integrity. The property also features a fenced off 34' x 80' hay shed for storing hay, feed, and equipment.
Location and Access
The property is located on US Highway 69, just east of New Virginia, Iowa, and northeast of Osceola, Iowa on the Clarke/Warren County line. The property can be accessed via two entrances on the new highway blacktop along the northeast and northwest corners of the property.

Land
The farm consists of approximately 271.75 FSA cropland acres, of which an estimated 134.41 are currently enrolled in income generating CRP and carry a CSR2 of 52.8. The balance of cropland and overall acres includes premium pasture fenced off into 5 individual paddocks, great water sources via good ponds and creeks, hardwood draws including desirable walnut and oak trees, and premium building sites off of the new US Highway 69 blacktop overlooking the entire farm. The land also features various qualities that make it an excellent hunting and recreational farm. The whitetail population and genetics in this area are consistent with what makes Iowa whitetail hunting the best in the country.
The CRP acres include very productive land with mainly Grundy and Arispe silty clay loam soils that could be farmed in the future or used for feed production. There are multiple active CRP contracts generating $29,107 of annual income. A breakdown of all 4 CRP contracts is below:
- 61.78 acres, CP42 paying $14,424 annually ($233.47/acre) through 2027

Excellent access is provided via convenient entrances, creek crossings, and property flow that is conducive to getting work done. Steeper areas of the farm include dry ponds to significantly decrease water flow after rainfall events to prevent erosion and preserve soil integrity.
