Entire Farm Description:

Selling with open tenancy for 2023.These tracts of prime central Illinois farmland have been in the Rawlings family since 1877. The opportunity to bid on a generational piece of farmland such as this is truly rare. The farm has seen over 130 years of traditional row crop agriculture with this family. In 2015, the owners saw an opportunity to take the farm in a new direction and went through the lengthy and grueling process to become fully organic certified. The cropland has no restrictions and could be put back into conventional row crop agriculture, but the opportunity to diversify your portfolio or farming operation with the impressive return of organic is at your fingertips with these tracts of land. This could also be an excellent opportunity for a young farmer to get their start with organic agriculture. The landowners have enrolled several areas of the property into the Conservation Reserve Program which provides a good return and great wildlife habitat.
