This parcel is the second offering of the auction that will be appealing to the beef producer as well as possessing some recreational appeal and oil production. Tract 7 is composed of grazing pasture with a catchpen at the northeast corner, a small portion of cropland along the west boundary and a section of heavy hardwood timber in the southeast quadrant. The pasture portion has a good base of native grass but could use a chemical application to give it a boost going into next year’s grazing season. The prominent native grass varieties in the pasture are Big Bluestem, Switchgrass and Indiangrass with a nice compliment of Sideoats Grama. The cropland acreage totals 10.48 acres according to FSA records with the entirety of the soil composition within the tillable portion being Woodson silt loam. Livestock water is provided by a sizable pond located near the east boundary. Existing boundary fences on this tract are barbed wire and vary in quality and are described as follows… The west fence is mostly adequate with a section needing work near the north end which is currently being reinforced with electric fence. The south and east fences are 4 and 5 strand rated adequate. The north fence only extends across part of the north boundary of this tract which is the division line between the subject parcel and Tract 6 to the north. If Tracts 6 and 7 sell separately, there will need to be a short section of new fence constructed. Contact Broker if you need further information on this. For those wanting a parcel with some hunting appeal as well, this is one to not overlook. According to the Seller, the timbered section of this tract has historically been frequented by area Whitetails. A review of the aerial map will show a substantial and heavily timbered corridor to both the south and east of the subject parcel. The addition of feeders should provide excellent upside potential for this property. This tract does have current oil production and we have provided the County rendition sheets and Kansas Geological Survey data within the “Related Documents” section of this listing on our website for your review. The County rendition sheets indicate the Seller possesses the entirety of the mineral rights and is receiving the common 1/8th Royalty Interest from current oil production. 2025 total barrel production was 485 barrels according to the rendition sheets with 1/8th of that number credited to the landowner. Tract 7 is being offered both individually and in combination with Tract 6 which is contiguous to the north and will sell in whichever format garners the most proceeds. We will take the high bids from Tract 6 and Tract 7, add them together plus a $25,000 escalator and this is where the bidding will begin on Tract 8 which is the combination of Tracts 6 and 7. Fence Disclosure: If Tracts 6 and 7 sell separately and not in combination, there will need to be a short section of fence constructed between the two tracts. Please refer to State and County fencing regulations regarding responsibility of fence construction for containment of livestock.
