This is a good opportunity to purchase a good quality farm within one mile of the Ames City limits, adjoining the Union Pacific Rail Line and within 2 miles of the Lincoln Way Energy Ethanol Plant and the Key Coop. The farm has 114.5 tillable acres and is planned to go back to corn in 2012. The lease is with a local operator that has leased the farm for many years on a 50/50 basis and will be farming the land in 2012. The buyer will assume all rights to this lease. Strong corn prices should translate into a good return for the new owner.

The land has a 24 and 10 county tile through the east and northern portions of the farm. It is our opinion that the drainage could be significantly improved with the outlets available by adding more laterals. In 2011 a dedicated 8 line was brought west on the south side of the RR tracks to a culvert under the RR tracks that serves as a surface drain outlet for the farm. It is a possible outlet for additional tile in the SW corner of the farm. This improvement should significantly help the drainage by itself but also add additional possibilities for permanent deep tiling solutions.
Why not to invest in a good quality farm at farmland prices with future development possibilities?
