Details

This 470 +/- acre farm has been in the O’Brien family for four generations and January 30, 2024 marked the 140th anniversary of the 1884 purchase. Farms of this size with all contiguous land that have been well-maintained for almost a century and a half rarely come up for sale. The owner has recently retired and is looking for a party that appreciates the values of family farming and long-term stewardship of the land and its many elements to carry forward. The O’Brien family farm is a mixed-use operation, raising cash-grain crops (corn, wheat, and soybeans raised on 283 +/- cropland acres), cattle (two pastures totaling 79 +/- acres), three virgin prairie hay meadows (59 +/- acres, undisturbed from frontier homesteading times in the 1860s), natural gas production, logging, along with hunting and fishing activities. The current operation of the farm involves sharecropping the cash-grain crops and haying operation, cash rental of the two pastures to the sharecropping partners, and natural gas production. The farm also supports occasional logging activities that harvest trees along the Little Labette Creek that runs through the northeast part of the farm. Over the past five years, the average profit generated for the sharecropping partnership and related operations has been over $110,000/year with about 1/3 of this profit going to the owner and 2/3 going to the farm operator.
