This is an excellent crop/livestock farm with a mixture of native grass and tame grass pasture and a superb location and access along Oil Highway #262 and township gravel roads.  This property has excellent visibility and highway access.  This farm has some high quality well managed unpunished grass and excellent weed and cedar control with over 15,000 cedars being hand cut since 2017.  This property will be surveyed at the expense of the sellers, with the acres sold to be in accordance with the surveyed acres.  In 2022 approx. 1,933’ of new interior 5 barbed wire fence and posts fence was professionally installed by John Bartscher Fencing at the expense of the sellers and the previously existing fencing being above average 4 and 5 barbed wire fencing is in well maintained condition.  According to FSA information this farm has approximately 72 acres of cropland with no present established yields and bases, with all of the cropland acres currently sowed to grass.  Water is provided from Pierre Creek and is spring fed in several locations providing quality clean water and Hanson-Davison Rural Water is nearby the property. The general topography of this land is gently rolling to somewhat hilly with some existing mature cedars which provide shelter and shade for livestock.  According to information obtained from Surety Agri-Data indicates this land has a soil productivity index of 39.1.  A positive factor on this property is that there are NO restrictive Grassland or US Fish & Wildlife Easements whatsoever on this land.  Another great attribute to this property is that there are some attractive potential sites for future housing, if a future owner should desire to utilize them. This property is currently part of a larger parcel, but as a whole the RE taxes payable in 2022 were approx. $9.20 per acre.  If you are in the market for Hanson County Land with high quality grass, acres with potential for conversion to use as cropland and respectable soils, then make plans to inspect this property and be in attendance at this auction.
