9 Mile Hill Cotton Farm - 47% Class One Soils!
This is an amazing opportunity to own a productive cotton farm, in an area of Jackson County where land rarely is offered on the open market! This dry land farm lays along the Tipton Highway (HWY 5) on the south side of the road, just a half mile east of 9 Mile Hill (not in the irrigation district). It also has county road frontage on its west and south sides (road to the south is gravel), so you can get to any side of the place quickly.
The farm contains 296.17 tillable acres, per FSA, with the balance being in the roadways. It is primarily flat, with one small wash on the southwest side. It has a set of pipe working pens and one old wooded barn on it, which is just wide enough for a horse to pull a cart through. There are no fences or other improvements.

My family has owned this farm since the early 1940s, when my great-granddaddy first purchased the land. I grew up plowing it in the summers as a kid and remember years when the wheat was so thick you had to kick your way through it. We have seen the farm produce yields as high as 60 bushels per acre of wheat and 2 bales per acre of cotton, which it made just under in 2016 (see the 35 modules in pictures). The land has been fertilized and maintained consistently over the years and is in prime condition for a new owner to take over.
LIST PRICE: $1500/acre
