Description

Major Pottawattamie County, Iowa Land Auction – Mark your calendar for Thursday, October 26th, 2023 at 10:00 AM! Peoples Company and the Lund Company are pleased to represent J Pryor Farms LLC in the sale of 657.18 total acres m/l of prime Pottawattamie County, Iowa farmland offered through 6 different tracts ranging in size from 49.22 acres m/l to 174.66 acres m/l.

Of the total 657.18 acres m/l in this portfolio, the Pryor Family farmland includes 626.92 FSA cropland acres carrying CSR2 ratings in the mid-50s to low 70s. The remaining balance of the acres consists of well-maintained waterways and quality timber. Located in a strong farming community near several competing grain markets including both grain elevators and ethanol plants, these highly-tillable tracts of farmland would make for a great add-on unit to an existing farm operation or investment-grade quality land purchase. This excellent land portfolio was assembled by Art Camenzind who proudly owned these farms before passing them down to the next generation, J Pryor Farms LLC. These farms have had long-term tenants in place who have taken excellent care of the farmland for many years.

Tract 1: 49.22 acres m/l with 48.47 FSA cropland acres carrying a CSR2 soil rating of 71.2.

Tract 6: 140.18 acres m/l with 139.72 FSA cropland acres carrying a CSR2 soil rating of 59.7.

The six tracts will be offered via Public Auction and will take place at 10:00 AM at the UMBA Hall, 300 2nd Avenue, Underwood, Iowa 51576. The farmland tracts will be sold as six individual tracts using the "Buyers Choice" auction method on a price per acre basis, and the high bidder can take, in any order, one or all tracts for their high bid.
