Please note that there have been excellent long-time farm tenants on these tracts who desire the opportunity to continue renting them in the event the successful buyer needs a tenant.
Tract 2 totals 40 acres more or less and adjoins Tract 1 which is located immediately to the east. This tract will also attract a diverse audience from the recreational buyer wanting return on assets to the ag producer who will appreciate both the quality and efficiency of this offering. Theres approximately 36 acres currently in production with approximate acreages of hay meadow at 8 acres and cropland acres at 28. A productive mix of soil types, including that portion in hay production which is the same soil type as the majority of the tillable portion, combine to form the soil survey that includes Osage, Chase and Ivan varieties. For your convenience and confidence, you will find a copy of the soil map in the Related Documents section within this listing on our website.
For the hunter that wants high-quality land for investment purposes, theres some recreational appeal here as well, especially for the waterfowler who wants to field hunt or pass-shoot the Neosho River that flows through the northeast quadrant.
Again, like Tract 1, youll appreciate the pavement access of Old Highway 50 and the proximity to multiple grain markets at Emporia, Lebo and beyond.
