757.89 Acres, Over 91% Income-Producing, West Central Illinois
757.89 total acres listed as 5 tracts in the Greene County riverbottoms in West Central, Illinois. While all 5 tracts are owned by the same family and would fit well together, they don't necessarily have to be purchased all together. All of the tillable parcels have modern irrigation and many have had significant pattern tile projects completed. Four tracts have lengthy, lucrative CRP contracts, as well. They have been cared for a great deal and have been built into high-quality producers. The farms are being sold without a contingency of a leaseback or the owners finding replacement property. Given the time of the year, however, we are looking for a fall closing after this growing season. Tracts 2 and 5 are under contract; Tracts 1, 3 and 4 are still available.
