GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The Jerry Bertrand Estate is offering 223.22 Acres of nice Eastern South
Dakota farmland. This is an excellent opportunity to purchase 1,2,3 or 4 tracts of gently rolling land
located just a couple miles West of the Iowa/South Dakota border. In the hills just off the fertile river
valley, dividing the 2 agricultural states, offers some unique marketing opportunities as well as ease of
access with highway frontage on the East side. Located approximately 5½ miles NW of Akron, IA on
the SD side on Highway 3 and approximately 8 miles SE of Alcester, SD and only approximately 10½
miles East of Interstate 29, opens up ease of access to the entire world markets. Livestock feeding
next door and grain markets only minutes away, gives you all the flexibility you could ask for.
The Union County FSA shows the following figures for Tracts 1 & 2: 163.41 cropland acres with an
80.80-acre corn base with a 100-bushel PLC Yield Index and an 82.60-acre soybean base with a
29-bushel PLC Yield Index. For Tract 3: 38.62 cropland acres with a 19.30-acre corn base with a
100-bushel PLC Yield Index and a 19.30-acre soybean base with a 29-bushel PLC Yield Index. If sold
separately, these numbers will be split according to the FSA rules.
The NRCS Office shows the main soil types to be for Tract 1: Crofton-Nora complex and Alcester
silty clay loam with smaller amounts of Moody-Nora silty clay loam. The weighted productivity rating
for Tract 1 is 62.8.Tract 2: Crofton-Nora complex and Crofton silt loam with smaller amounts of
Alcester silty clay loam. The weighted productivity rating for Tract 2 is 60.9.Tract 3:Crofton-Nora
complex and Crofton silt loam with smaller amounts of Moody-Nora silty clay loam. The weighted
productivity rating for Tract 3 is 54.4. Respectable numbers for the area!
Good production, well cared for farmland, a
really cool location for a 10 acre acreage (Tract 4)
that is a blank slate waiting for your vision and
brush strokes to make it a real show place located
off the road far enough to give a lot of beauty,
peace and quiet as you watch the deer and other
abundant wildlife, as well as having your own
dreams come true.
You can purchase 1 or all 4 of these tracts and
look back a few years from now or decades and
be extremely proud of the decisions you made.
Purchase with confidence knowing you can’t do it
wrong. All the best from all of us at Brock Auction Co.
