Elm Slough Farm

Elm Slough Farm is a 609.27-acre agricultural and recreational property located in Monroe County, Arkansas, just south of Roe. The farm comprises two separate tracts, located within 1.5 miles of each other, with a combined 516.56 acres of tillable cropland. Tract 1 encompasses 488.80 acres and includes 402.65 acres of tillable land, 31.5 acres in reservoir and tailwater recovery pits, 42 acres of woods and wetland, 5.5 acres for shop and staging areas, and 7.65 acres in roads and ditches. Tract 2 covers 120.47 acres, with 113.91 acres of tillable land and 6.56 acres allocated for roads and ditches. Both tracts have good road access, with Tract 1 accessible from US Highway 79 and Arkansas Highway 33 via Elm Street, and Tract 2 accessed through Arkansas Highway 33 and Monroe County Road 366. The farm is located 14 miles from Stuttgart, 8 miles from Clarendon, 66 miles from Little Rock, and 97 miles from Memphis. Agricultural production operates under an annual verbal lease agreement with crop-sharing arrangements - rice production follows a 50/50 split with shared expenses (Landlord pays 50%). Soybeans operate on a 66/33 arrangement (Landlord pays 33% expenses). Rice yields an average of 200 bushels per acre, and soybeans average 65 bushels per acre. The property features a sophisticated and efficient irrigation infrastructure. Tract 1 includes three electric submersible 6-inch wells, one 8-inch electric submersible well, and two 8-inch relifts (one diesel and one electric). Water conservation is enhanced on Tract 1 by two tailwater recovery pits, from which the relifts pump water to the surface of a 20-acre irrigation reservoir. The reservoir was constructed with dirt pans, creating a depth of 12-15 feet on the west end. Only during extreme dry years is water used from the reservoir. Tract 2 offers one 8-inch electric submersible well and one diesel well. Two diesel power units convey with the sale. All of the wells and relifts are connected to a network of underground piping (12-15") with risers delivering water to all areas of the farm. The acreage has no groundwater issues and is within the White River Irrigation Project service area (pumps are located at DeValls Bluff with water provided via a canal system), giving access to water on a pay-per-use basis if desired. Positioned in a central duck wintering zone approximately three miles from the White River National Wildlife Refuge, the land offers excellent duck hunting opportunities. The hunting rights are currently leased on a verbal year-to-year basis at $10 per acre for the entire farm ($6,480 total lease payment). Deer hunting is also available at specific locations on the property. Elm Slough Farm is priced for sale at $3,950,000 ($6,483.00 per acre).
