Property Description
Boone County, Iowa Farmland Auction – October 17th in Bouton, Iowa at 10AM! Tract 2 consists of 160 acres m/l with 135.92 FSA cropland acres and a CSR2 soil rating of 86, well above the Boone County, Iowa average CSR2 soil rating of 75.5. Prominent soil types include highly productive Clarion loam, Webster clay loam, and Nicollet loam. Access to the farm is from the west off K Avenue, and the farm is located northeast of Bouton, Iowa, and northwest of Woodward, Iowa, in Section 26 of Peoples Township, Boone County, Iowa. The balance of the tract consists of grass waterways and a 22-acre nature retreat established by the previous owner. It includes a man-made pond, three dams, a south-flowing creek, timber, and a 12′ x 20′ shed built in 2000. Historical imagery indicates the non-tillable area was smaller than it is today, and an incoming buyer could add additional cropland acres to the farm or continue its use as a nature retreat. Contact the listing agent for more details. Water flows towards the pond and is directed south off the property, eventually outletting into the Little Beaver Creek, just east of Bouton, Iowa. Prior to any drainage improvements, a Wetland Determination will need to be completed.
