On Sat May 15th and Sat May 22nd I attended the HC and Zelma Hooper Estate sales held near Milford,MO...Mr Hooper passed in 2009 and Mrs Hooper passed at age 94 in January 2021..She was a retired school teacher...They had no children..The first sale on May 15th was for the household stuff and the antiques and it took 6 hours...It rained for the first 3 hours but after dinner it quit..Things sold well..
On Sat May 22nd at 10 AM they sold 200 acres of the 280 acre farm..The home 80 acres with the buildings had been sold a few months before the sale to a neighbor..The 200 acres of pasture and hay sold in 3 tracts and averaged $3,250 per acre for $650,000 total...It all went to the same buyer...It lays nice and could be farmed but it wont be..The tractors and machinery hadn't been used in years but the neighbor across the road tried to keep the tractors running as the widow couldn't bear to part with them....Some of these had sat with flat tires but they appeared to be OK..The neighbor and his son started 6 of the 7 tractors using LP gas to run them..They have lots of Allis tractors used for haying with most being run on LP... The sale took 3 hours and it rained lightly for the entire 3 hour sale...Sales like this one are few and far between these days...
The auction company that did the sales does it the old fashioned way..There are no bidder numbers and they just write your last name down. The 504 IH sold for $2,400..The nephew whom I know bought it..He lives close by.. The 4600 Ford sold for $2,700...It went to the close neighbor with all the AC's...I asked him how it would fit in with all the AC's and he said it fit in fine after he converts it to run on LP gas.. The 2030 John Deere sold for $3,000... The late model straight 6 speed B John Deere with cultivator sold for $2,000..It had Roll-a-matic..It wasnt started at the sale but was running not that long ago...The nephew got it..
The unstlyed B John Deere with #5 JD mower sold for $1,900...The nephew bought it.
