The property features two productive tillable fields totaling approximately 37 acres, complemented by a natural tree-lined waterway. With a weighted average Productivity Index of 122.5.. Ashkum silty clay loam, comprising 40.9% of the property, provides the foundation for this exceptional productivity.
