Description
Located approximately 5 miles south and 2 miles west of Winona, Kansas, this 159.7± acre Logan County farm offers a predominantly tillable agricultural tract with established conservation practices, quality silt loam soils, and a history of organic crop production. The property is legally described as Section 26, Township 12, Range 36, Logan County, Kansas.
Of the 159.7± total acres, approximately 138± acres are tillable, with the remaining 20± acres consisting primarily of grass and waterways. This gives the property a high percentage of tillable acreage while maintaining established grass waterways that complement the farm's terrace system and assist with soil and water conservation.
The current owners and operators are certified organic farmers, and the property is currently planted to organic corn. The organic production history may be an important consideration for producers and agricultural land investors interested in this type of farming system. Prospective buyers interested in continuing organic production should independently verify the property's certification history, records, current status, and requirements for maintaining organic certification under new ownership or operation.
The farm's soil characteristics are an important part of the property. According to available soil information, the farm carries an overall NCCPI score of 61.44 and an average 2.85 CAP rating. The tillable acres consist predominantly of Ulysses silt loam and Colby silt loam.
The Ulysses silt loam soils are generally found on 0 to 3 percent slopes, accounting for some of the more gently rolling cropland on the farm. The Colby silt loam soils primarily consist of 3 to 6 percent slopes, along with a smaller portion ranging from 6 to 15 percent slopes. These soil types and slope variations are important considerations for crop production, conservation planning, and long-term land management.
An established system of terraces and grass waterways is already in place across the property. These conservation features help manage runoff and reduce soil erosion on the rolling cropland. In western Kansas, where efficient management of available precipitation is an important part of dryland agriculture, existing terraces and waterways provide practical infrastructure for continued farming and conservation efforts.
The farm is currently planted to organic corn. Recent growing seasons have brought challenging moisture conditions to this portion of western Kansas, and those conditions are evident in the current crop. Organic corn production also presents different management challenges than conventional corn production, particularly with weed control, fertility, crop rotation, and available inputs. Buyers evaluating the farm should consider these factors along with historical production information, soil characteristics, conservation improvements, and their own intended farming practices rather than relying solely on the appearance of the current crop.
For an existing producer, the approximately 138± tillable acres could provide a practical addition to a farming operation in Logan County or the surrounding western Kansas region. For a land investor, the combination of tillable acreage, documented soil characteristics, terraces, waterways, and organic farming history provides multiple factors to consider when evaluating the long-term agricultural use of the property.
The location provides the rural setting expected from western Kansas farmland while remaining within reasonable proximity of area agricultural communities. The property sits approximately 5 miles south and 2 miles west of Winona, an area characterized by dryland crop production, grassland, and working agricultural operations. The farm is also within driving distance of Oakley and other communities that provide agricultural supplies, equipment, grain marketing, fuel, and additional services.
The property's nearly quarter-section size also makes it a manageable agricultural tract. With approximately 86 percent of the acreage considered tillable, the farm offers a substantial amount of cropland relative to the total acreage while incorporating the grass waterways and conservation areas necessary to accommodate the natural terrain.
The current owners' experience as certified organic farmers adds another element to the property's agricultural history. Organic farming requires detailed management practices and recordkeeping, and buyers specifically seeking land with an organic production history should consider requesting available records as part of their due diligence. Any continuation or transfer of organic certification should be independently confirmed with the appropriate certifying agency.
Whether considered as an addition to an existing farming operation, an agricultural investment, or acreage for a producer interested in continued organic farming practices, this 159.7± acre Logan County property offers a combination of tillable acres, Ulysses and Colby silt loam soils, conservation improvements, and a western Kansas agricultural location.
