The Betty Jane Cotton and Grain Farm is offered for sale for the first time in over 25 years. This farm has a long history of producing top yields of cotton. The deeded acres are 1407 and the farm has 1322 DCP Effective cropland acres. The farm is located on Highway 124 south of Jonesville, La eleven miles. The farm is on the highway along the Black River, and consists of very fertile, alluvial soils. The farm is high and dry and very well drained. These alluvial soils have been producing top yields of cotton for 25+ years. The farm is leased to a local farmer and has been planted in a cotton, soybean mix for the past 7+ years. The farm has been improved with square fields, roads, and ditches throughout. The farm is in an excellent region of row crop farmland with good infrastructure in very close proximity, especially with its proximity to the Black River and the Mississippi River. The soils consist of a mixture of Dundee, Tenses, and Sharkey soils. Yield history and Farm Service Agency Documents available upon request.
The current owners have been primarily focused on row crop production. There is also great potential for recreation. The farm joins the famous Honey Brake Lodge property, well known for premier duck hunting. With the addition of a few duck blinds, a landowner could have a hunting spot in an excellent flyway, or lease the hunting for extra income.
The sellers have provided an eight-year yield history available upon request. The crop history has been primarily cotton and soybeans, although the soils are codusive for many crops, including corn, grain sorghum, and wheat. With the addition of irrigation there is a portion of the farm that would be excellent for rice production. These soils are truly versatile for many crop types.
The farm has 15% Dundee silty clay loam, premium Delta soils for all crops. The remainder is Tensas silty clay and Sharkey Clay, also excellent soils for crop production of a variety of crops. Soil map attachment below.
