Entire Farm Description:

Ranch & Farm Auctions, a Division of Whitetail Properties Real Estate, is pleased to represent the Brantz Family in the sale of 303.28 taxable farmland acres. Located just northwest of Denison, at the intersection of US-59 and IA-141, this high-quality Crawford County land auction offers buyers the opportunity to purchase pasture and income-producing farmland in three individual tracts.

Tract 1 includes approximately 88.7 acres of improved pasture with quality boundary fencing, two ponds, and nearly 20 acres of timber within the pasture, offering excellent livestock and recreational appeal. The balance of the tract is productive open pastureland with access from L Avenue.

Tract 2 includes approximately 50.2 acres of farmland currently enrolled in CRP, generating $14,650 annually at $291.86/acre, with the contract expiring 9/30/2026. This tract features home-building sites with spectacular views of Denison and the Boyer River valley. The primary soil types include Monona silty clay loam and Judson silty clay loam, which carry a CSR2 of 59.7.

Tract 3 consists of approximately 164.38 acres of farmland with 146.71 acres in CRP, producing $42,206 annually at $287.69/acre, with the contract expiring 9/30/2027. The primary soil types include Monona silty clay loam, Judson silty clay loam and Liston-Burchard complex with a CSR2 of 51.9. 

All tracts will be surveyed prior to the auction, providing clearly defined boundaries for buyers. The timing of these CRP expirations offers a key advantage—allowing new owners the flexibility to re-enroll in CRP or transition the land back into row-crop production, depending on market conditions and farm management goals.
