Auctioneer's Note
This is an auction you don’t want to miss! Located in the heart of the Red River Valley, these tracts are dominated by the presence of silty clay soils. It’s been several years since sugar beets were included in the crop rotation on these parcels. Sold free and clear of any cropland leases for 2026, and beyond. Tilled back with ample soil nutrients throughout each quarter, provides any buyer a chance to quickly get things planted this coming spring. Offered as 3 tracts, buy one, or buy them all, come prepared to buy.
