Property Info

Description

Mark your calendar for Thursday, June 26th, 2025, at 10 AM! Peoples Company is pleased to be representing Patricia I. Anderson Estate in the sale of their family farm, located just east of Rippey, Iowa, and northwest of Perry, Iowa. The farm consists of 160 acres m/l and will be offered as two individual 80-acre tracts. The tracts have great access off paved County Highway E57/290th Street and X Avenue, offering easy access to surrounding grain markets. These nearly 100% tillable tracts have an average CSR2 soil rating of 86.2, well above the Greene County average CSR2 soil rating of 78.3. The primary soil types include top-producing loam soils of Canisteo, Clarion, Webster, and Nicollet. The cropland acres are Non-Highly Erodible Land (NHEL), and a wetland determination was completed in 2016 that designated the farmland as Prior Converted/Non-Wetland. These tracts are located in Section 12 of Washington Township, Greene County, Iowa.

Tract 1: 80 acres m/l with an estimated 78.15 FSA cropland acres and a CSR2 soil rating of 86.3.
Tract 2: 80 acres m/l with an estimated 76.33 FSA cropland acres and a CSR2 soil rating of 86.1. Currently 1.94 acres are enrolled in CRP, paying $582 annually.

These high-quality farmland tracts are located in a strong farming community and would make for a great add-on tract to an existing farming operation or an investment for the Buyer looking to diversify their portfolio or hedge inflation. There are several grain marketing outlets located nearby including grain elevators and ethanol plants that can be accessed by both county and state paved highways. The farms are leased for the 2025 growing season, and the winning bidder(s)/buyer(s) will assume the current farm lease and receive the second half of the farm rent payment. See the individual tracts for more information.

The two tracts will be offered on a price per acre basis via Public Auction and will take place on Thursday, June 26th, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST at the Rippey Public Library in Rippey, Iowa. The farm will be sold as two 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 both tracts for their high bid. "Buyers Choice" auctioning will continue until both tracts have been purchased and removed from the auction. Tracts will not be offered in their entirety at the conclusion of the auction. This auction can also be viewed through a Virtual Online Auction option, and online bidding will be available.

Tract 1

Description

Tract 1 consists of 80 acres m/l that are nearly all tillable with an estimated 78.15 FSA cropland acres and a CSR2 soil rating of 86.3. Prominent soil types include highly productive Canisteo clay loam, Clarion loam, and Nicollet loam. Access to the farm is from the north off paved County Highway E57/290th Street. The farm is located just east of Rippey, Iowa in Section 12 of Washington Township, Greene County, Iowa.

A Wetland Determination was completed in 2016 and determined that there were no wetlands on the farm with the ground designated as Prior Converted/Non-Wetland (PC/NW), allowing for drainage tile to be installed without any restrictions, and Non-Highly Erodible Land (NHEL). Between 2022 and 2023, an acreage site was removed and converted into tillable farmland. In 2023, a Highly Erodible Land Determination was completed for the land where the acreage site was, and it was determined the ground to be Non-Highly Erodible Land (NHEL). 

The farmland is leased for the 2025 growing season, and the winning bidder/buyer will assume the current farm lease and receive the second half of the farm rent payment. The estimated rent payable for Tract 1 is $10,745.

Tract 2 - County Highway E57 & X Avenue, Rippey, IA 50235

Tract 2

Description

Tract 2 consists of 80 acres m/l with an estimated 76.33 FSA cropland acres and a CSR2 soil rating of 86.1. Prominent soil types include highly productive Clarion loam, Webster clay loam, and Nicollet loam. Access to the farm is from the west off X Avenue. The farm is located just east of Rippey, Iowa in Section 12 of Washington Township, Greene County, Iowa. 

Of the cropland acres, there are an estimated 74.39 acres that are currently being farmed with 1.94 acres enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). The CRP contract details are listed below:
  • Contract #11505A - 1.94 Acres enrolled in a Grass Waterway (Practice CP8A) with an annual payment of $582 ($300/acre). This contract is set to expire in September 2028.

A Wetland Determination was completed in 2016 and determined that there were no wetlands on the farm with the ground designated as Prior Converted/Non-Wetland (PC/NW), allowing for drainage tile to be installed without any restrictions, and Non-Highly Erodible Land (NHEL). According to the Greene County FSA Office, when the CRP grass waterway was installed in 2019, there were also plans to install 1,950 linear feet of drainage tile. The tile is 5" lines, and there is a tile intake to the west in the ditch. It was confirmed that tile was installed; however, Peoples Company does not warrant the location of installation of the tile, and a buyer should do their own investigation to confirm the location of tile installation. See the attached 'Tile Map' for approximate locations.

The farmland is leased for the 2025 growing season, and the winning bidder/buyer will assume the current farm lease and receive the second half of the farm rent payment. The estimated rent payable for Tract 2 is $10,229.
