What a farm... This property has a lot going for it. The diversity, size, layout, and several other factors just make it a stand out hunting farm. The number one thing I love about it is the diversity. There is roughly 9 acres of CRP that brings in income, and also tillable ground that bring in income as well. It truly makes the perfect combination of cover and food. This is the type of farm you can hunt all phases of the seasons, and always have action packed hunts. There is a road going all the way to the back CRP field providing easy access around the entire farm. The timber is made up of a mixture of red oak, black oak, walnut, hickory, and several other species of hardwoods. You could collect income from part of the tillable field, and leave the rest for late season hunting. This farm is jam packed with deer. There were deer running all over the place while I was walking it. This is a perfect all-around farm and I am happy to present it to you!
