Rural Sumner, IA 50674

This 77 acre m/l farm in Chickasaw County, Iowa, presents an opportunity for buyers seeking a combination of productive cropland and Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) income. The property offers a flexible mix of current conservation acreage and future farming potential, making it suitable for agricultural operations, investment, or as an addition to an existing land portfolio. The farm currently includes approximately 20.58 acres enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program with a contract scheduled to expire on September 30, 2026. Once the contract expires, those acres may provide additional farming opportunities. Combined with the approximately 36 acres currently being farmed, the property offers a significant percentage of the total productive acreage for future agricultural use. In addition to the expiring CRP acreage, approximately 9.85 acres are enrolled in a buffer strip CRP contract that remains in effect through September 30, 2031. This portion of the property provides an annual CRP payment of approximately $3,372, based on a payment rate of $342.31 per acre. Buyers should verify all CRP contract terms, payment schedules, and transfer requirements with the appropriate agencies. The farm carries an average CSR2 rating exceeding 73, reflecting the quality of the soils across the property. Strong CSR2 ratings are often considered by producers and investors when evaluating long-term agricultural potential. Whether the property is operated by an owner or leased to a local producer, the combination of productive soils and future farming availability creates flexibility for a variety of ownership strategies. The transition of the 20.58 CRP acres following the 2026 contract expiration allows a future owner to evaluate available options based on market conditions and conservation program requirements at that time. The remaining buffer strip CRP acreage continues to provide annual income while supporting conservation practices on the farm. This property may appeal to farmers looking to expand their operation with additional tillable ground, investors seeking a combination of agricultural production and annual CRP income, or buyers interested in owning quality Iowa farmland with multiple management options over the coming years. Chickasaw County continues to be recognized for its productive agricultural landscape, and farms with above average soil productivity and a blend of current income and future farming opportunities are often sought after. The property's average CSR2 of more than 73, along with the combination of open cropland and CRP acreage, provides buyers with an opportunity to evaluate how the farm fits their individual objectives. Whether your plans include expanding a farming operation, purchasing an investment property, or holding quality agricultural land for the future, this tract offers a balance of productive soils, conservation income, and flexibility as CRP contracts mature. Interested buyers are encouraged to review the CRP documentation, verify acreage figures, and consult with the appropriate agencies regarding contract transfers and future land use.
