I looked at a 180 acre farm yesterday. The sales folks sent me the details; About 25% class A soil, 35 to 40% class B and the rest Class C.
I drove the whole thing. The worst end of the class C was a sand pile, good enough to mix morter with! I was wondering if that "hill of sand" would be a good place for about 40 acres of alfalfa. What do you suggest?, too far out to make a quarry and the owner(retiring) says he has a cash renter that's been working the farm for the last 3 years and paying $120.00 acre rent. The corn base yeild is listed at 87.5 bu/acre.
I'm not sure I could make that much farming it by myself! The price is right for the ground, just don't know what would grow in the sand lot. Thanx for your input Larry
