The farm also offers excellent duck and goose hunting. In addition to the bordering Mississippi River, just across the river lies the Harlow Island federal refuge and on the Illinois side lies the Kidd Lake state refuge making this ground a waterfowl haven. There are two islands on the farm providing safe and secure nesting areas for many waterfowl. Additionally, there is a slough allowing for natural cover for the waterfowl. The property has an oxbow lake and has a new 16" irrigation well with 10" discharge for flooding the sloughs and fields. The combination of open water, sheltered sloughs and islands all within close proximity to a protected water refuge creates a highly attractive environment for waterfowl. This farm truly offers a unique opportunity to have both the benefits of a profitable farm while also enjoying hunting and recreation.
