It’s not often that you see a farm with such great topography and layout that generates this type of return! There are currently 112 acres enrolled in the CRP grassland program. This program allows for 10% of all enrolled acres to be in wildlife food plots.

On almost any wind direction, this provides the hunter with multiple ambush locations to choose from. A timber appraisal was conducted recently and estimated a value of $145,437.60. A select harvest will generally yield the land owner approximately 1/3rd of this value. The most notable species of the timber stand analysis were White Oak, Black Oak, Hickory and Persimmon. The Persimmon may not hold much value from a return standpoint, but it sure excites the deer hunter in all of us. There are several areas of early to mid-successional growth on the property. These areas provide an excellent source of highly nutritious browse along with great bedding and sanctuary cover to keep deer safe and secure on the property. There are multiple entrance points on the property along Hohman & Kickasola roads providing access for hunting or can be considered entry points for any one of the numerous building sites on the farm. County water is available on the western boundary along Kickasola Road.
