Here's a rare, and a possibly once in a lifetime, opportunity to purchase prime Scott County, MO farmland that hasn't changed hands for more than 80-years. This 160+/- acre beauty is ideally located on HWY W, approximately 4.5 miles West of Oran, MO and close to Interstate 55 halfway between Cape Girardeau and Sikeston. The farm has seen many improvements over the years, including the installation of two irrigation wells and laser grading for flood irrigation. Of the total acres, 158.32 are considered FSA cropland acres. The owners have enjoyed a long-term agreement with a local farmer who has managed the farm with outstanding stewardship, including the installation of the wells, and professional grade work. The farm is open for the 2025 farm season. The new owner will have the option of farming it themselves or leasing it to a farmer of their choosing. Take time to look at the pictures and video. I think you'll be impressed with the quality of this farm. Register now and make plans to win the bid on November 8th.
