Land for sale in Kansas

[Ericict]

We are auctioning a couple of our family properties. Both are 160 acre properties, both have deer, upland game, turkey and other hunting opportunities. One has a large stocked pound that is spring fed. If you want to move or have a place to disconnect, both fit the bill. The auctions are next month.

Sumner County

Barton County

Wow, really cheap RE tax for that much land...at least compared to where I am. Good luck with the auction

what do you expect them to sell for? do people lease out the farming land if you wanted it too?

I was curious about that too.

Yes, I have land in Iowa that’s all rented and farmed by others.

Without going into personal stuff, is it profitable or just a way to keep the land worked and taxes paid?

Yes, very assuming it’s all paid for.

I did just google and looks like Iowa land rents higher but there’s still opportunity in Kansas. It all depends on the CSR or crop suitability rating.

CSR determined by the soil? Just try to learn something.

It’s an auction, so I don’t know what it will go for. You you can own and lease pasture and farm land. That’s very common in Kansas. It all depends on how much to borrow as to whether you put money in your pocket. Both also have intact mineral rights. Both can enter in CRP as well and get paid to do nothing with it but grow grass. My kids all live out of state and have no interest in farming or owning ground. They both make money.

Corn suitability rating. Yes, but this is not good ground for corn. Wrong soils. Milo, soy beans, wheat in both these areas.

Yes I misremembered it is corn not crop suitability rating and much more applicable to Iowa than Kansas.

We use similar tests for the soils in our farm ground as well. All the same just different names. When the land is evaluated the soil comp is noted and that affects everything from what you plant, when you plant, crop insurance....

If you own land and are from out state, there additional benefits for the owner if he hunts his own land.

Wow that's place in Sumner looks great...put a house on there and your set ( maybe a yellow brick road leading up to it )

It is a nice piece of ground.

It is a nice piece of ground.

so what is your expected ball park for price? I have no idea.

 

[Apparition]

Good luck on the sale, hope it goes for great money.

We think 1800ish an acre for sumner and 1500ish for Barton. But it’s a guess. It all depends on the the bidding. I’ve never sold ground this way but it was recommended by a family member. So we will see what happens. It’s a bit nerve wrecking.
