Why This Scott County Farm Stands Out
Several features make this farm attractive to buyers.
First, the tract offers approximately 158.5± tillable acres. As a result, nearly all of the property contributes to income-producing agricultural use.

Location Adds Long-Term Value
Location continues to play a major role in farmland demand.
This farm sits approximately one mile north of Durant, Iowa. In addition, Interstate 80 is located only 1.2 miles away.
Because of this convenient location, operators can easily access local grain markets, suppliers, and transportation routes.
The property is located in Section 30, Township 79 North, Range 1 West within Scott County, Iowa.
For investors, proximity to major transportation corridors often adds long-term appeal and marketability.
Understanding the 91.9 CSR2 Rating
One of the most notable features of this auction is the farm’s strong CSR2 rating.
CSR2, or Corn Suitability Rating 2, is a system developed specifically for Iowa soils. It helps estimate the productive potential of farmland based on soil characteristics and expected crop performance.
Generally speaking, higher CSR2 ratings indicate stronger agricultural productivity.
With a 91.9 CSR2 on the tillable acres, this farm ranks among the higher-quality farmland offerings available in eastern Iowa.
Lease Information for Buyers
The farm is rented for the 2026 crop season.
However, the buyer will receive a $7,000 cash credit at closing. This credit helps account for the existing lease arrangement while providing immediate value to the successful bidder.
Additional lease details can be found in the auction information packet.
Residence and Improvements
In addition to the farmland, the property includes a farmhouse and improvements.
