Possession & Financial Considerations
Farming Rights & Possession: This property is available for immediate possession, and all farming rights are open for the 2026 season. This is a rare chance to secure high-CSR2 ground in time for spring planting and ensure you don't miss out on this year's crop cycle.
Machinery & Equipment: While the real estate is the primary offering, all supporting machinery is being sold separately. However, the seller is open to negotiations regarding equipment to help the buyer achieve a truly turnkey transition.
Soil Fertility & Sustainability: The 8-foot swine pit capacity provides a closed-loop nutrient management system, supplying enough manure to fertilize the entire 111-acre tract annually, significantly reducing commercial input costs.
Transition Support: To ensure a seamless handoff, the seller is open to a short-term management agreement to assist the new owners with facility protocols and livestock transition.
