Dallas County, Iowa Land Auction - Mark your calendars for Thursday, February 24th, 2022 at 10:00 AM! Peoples Company is honored to represent the beneficiaries to the Estate of Betty S. Davidson in the sale of 116.48 total acres m/l located just four miles west of Adel, Iowa. This farmland has been a long-standing heirloom of the Clarence "Pete" and Betty Davidson family for over 68 years. After Pete's military service as a Naval Officer commanding a U.S. warship during the Korean War, Pete and Betty purchased the farm in 1954 from Iowa Methodist Hospital. It was here where they worked as a team raising their two children. During these influential years, they instilled the values of hard work, dedication, and responsibility in their children. The farm was a cornerstone for hosting many dinners, hayrack rides, and stone soup suppers for their church group, friends and family, and students Pete taught while at the American Institute of Business. In addition, the farm was also where Suzanne and David learned how to drive the family's 1956 Ford F-100 pickup truck when they could barely see over the dashboard or reach the pedals.

The farmland consists of a total of 116.48 acres m/l with 112.82 FSA cropland acres carrying a CSR2 value of 75.8. The primary soil type includes the highly-productive Clarion loam. There are currently 112 acres being farmed with an additional 0.50 acre enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) thru 2023. The CRP practice is CP-21 Filter Strips and has an annual payment of $171 ($342/Acre). There is also a nearly 8,000 bushel grain bin, built in 1978, located on the northeast corner of the tract.

Improvements include electric and rural water at the road. Electric would be available through MidAmerican Energy. Xenia Rural Water District services this area with a 2" rural water line located along the south side of County Highway F51/280th Street.

This highly tillable farmland tract is located within the west half of Section 27 in Colfax Township, Dallas County, Iowa. The farmland will be offered via public auction as an individual tract on Thursday, February 24th, 2022. The auction will take place at 10:00 AM at the River Valley Golf Course Clubhouse, 22927 Valley View Trail, Adel, Iowa 50003. This auction can also be viewed through a Virtual Online Auction option.
