Description
High Point Land Company is honored to present the Duane and Georgette Bauman Trust properties, to be sold via online auction Wednesday, August 27th with bidding ending at 1pm. These farms feature some of the highest-quality soils found in Butler County and offer tremendous opportunities for expanding existing operations or investing in A-class tillable farmland.
Tract 1 – 231.94+/- Acres (209.16+/- Cropland)
This expansive tract is a farmer’s dream. With long, straight rows and excellent access, it offers a rare opportunity to own one large, contiguous field, ideal for maximizing operational efficiency. Of the total acreage, 93.12 acres are currently enrolled in CRP through 2032 at a rate of $271.54/acre, generating $25,286 annually. Buyers have the option to either succeed the current CRP contract or, upon execution of the purchase agreement, request that the sellers cancel the CRP contract, allowing those acres to return to row crop production. This decision must be made at the time of signing. The currently farmed acres carry an impressive 82.9 CSR2, while the CRP acres average a strong 66 CSR2. Buyers may choose to maintain the existing terraces or remove them to create one of the largest open fields in the area.
Tract 2 – 71.7+/- Acres (72.34+/- Acres Cropland)
Located along Highway 14 just north of Allison, this tract offers excellent access to local grain markets and features highly productive, desirable soils with an 85.3 CSR2. It is an ideal addition to any farming operation or investment portfolio. Historically farmed in conjunction with an adjacent parcel to the north owned by a family member, this tract can be operated independently or, potentially, as part of a larger farm if an arrangement to rent the neighboring acres can be continued. While not guaranteed, this presents a unique opportunity to expand your footprint. Please note that 0.34 acres have been surveyed off and will be retained by the sellers to square off the adjoining acreage.
Tract 3 – 39+/- Acres (39+/- Acres Cropland)
Don’t overlook this smaller but exceptionally productive tract, which boasts an outstanding 89.5 CSR2 average across its tillable acres. Dominated by highly productive soils like Readlyn silt loam and Kenyon loam, this farm offers top-tier productivity in a manageable size. A few terraces are currently in place and may be removed to further improve efficiency. This is a premium A-quality tract in a compact footprint.
Tract 4 – 78.49+/- Acres (75.52+/- Acres Cropland)
This tract is gently sloped, highly productive, and easy to farm, with a strong 85.5 CSR2 across the tillable acres. A waterway runs through the property but can be farmed over, enhancing efficiency. With excellent access off Newell Ave, this tract combines both performance and convenience.
These tracts will be offered via a timed online auction, with bidding ending on August 27th, 2025, at 1:00 PM. This is a rare opportunity to add one or multiple tracts of premium-quality farmland to your operation or investment portfolio. It is uncommon to find this many acres of contiguous, high-caliber farmland in such a well-located area, perfect for a single operator. For investors, multiple local operators are offering aggressive rental rates, making this an appealing long-term investment opportunity.
