The developed farmland around Grygla is well-known for its productive & fertile soils.
ABOUT THE LAND
With 3,250 cropland acres, this farm has numerous attributes which make it desirable to many. First and foremost, it has 2,500 contiguous acres with the balance of acres located within one mile of the main farm. The farm has been extensively improved with approximately 910 acres of drain tile and significant ditching. The farm boasts some of the most fertile soils in the area with Smiley and Rosliss Loam. All the tracts are easy to access within 3 miles off blacktop. Moreover, the farm lays level with elevations of 1,170’ – 1,180’. Finally, the farm features three farm sites, with the most notable on tract 17M. This tract also features grain and machinery storage, as well as, a north/south grass runway.

Local producers should take note that acquiring a massive piece of land like this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity anywhere in the state, let alone so close to home. It should also be said that putting together a farm of this magnitude takes a generation!
