Terms on all three farms: Ten (10) percent down, with the balance due in 30 days. Possession of the open cropland will be immediate upon signing of the purchase agreement and making the down payment. Possession on the rest of the land will be at closing, within 30 days, subject to the right of the tenant to harvest the wheat crop. The Buyer will receive the landlords (40%) share of the 2011 wheat crop. Full possession of the land in wheat will be after the 2011 wheat harvest. The Buyers of the farms with growing wheat will not be required to reimburse the Seller for fertilizer. Approximately 100 lbs. of NH3 and liquid starter were applied at planting time. The Buyers of the land where Roundup has been applied will reimburse the previous tenant $20 per acre the day of the auction for the chemical and application of the Roundup. There were two applications of Roundup, last summer and last fall.

The cropland on these three farms has been well farmed and cared for. The terraces have been in place for many years and have been well maintained. The draws, timbered areas, river and creeks on these farms provide abundant habitat for whitetail deer, turkey and other wildlife, or would provide good cover for wintering livestock. The farms offer a variety of hunting and other recreational opportunities.
