GENERAL DESCRIPTION: “Opportunity Knocks As The Future Looks Brighter”
Brock Auction Co. is proud to be representing the Wanda J. Philips Estate in the offering of
their long-time family held farmland. The Philips name is synonymous with strong family farming
values for many generations in Western Plymouth County. They will be offering 2 farms for sale
that present a rare opportunity for someone to purchase land that rarely comes up for sale. They
have had excellent conservation practices used from terraces, conservation tillage and CRP
program to meet high quality standards and to maintain them as well.
The 2 farms are combined for FSA office purposes and if sold separately will be divided
according to their rules. The Plymouth County FSA Office shows those combined figures to
be: 305.28 cropland Acres with a 190.5-acre corn base with a 158 bu PLC Yield Index. There
were also 3.62 acres in CRP that came out this year.
The Plymouth County NRCS and Assessors office shows the following: Tract 1 main soil types
to be Galva with smaller amounts of Ida and Kennebec-McPaul. The farm carries a weighted
average CSR II of 79.8.
Tract 2 shows the 3 main soil types to be Ida, Galva and Kennebec-McPaul. Tract 2 has an
average weighted CSR II of 59.2. These are good strong numbers for the area and the farm has
had excellent care all these years.
Having an opportunity to purchase quality land like these farms doesn’t happen very often.
A lot of times it’s decades, if ever, before someone gets the chance to buy something like this.
These farms have everything you could ask for to enhance your grain marketing opportunities.
Located right on Hwy. 3 and Diamond Ave., just outside Akron, IA in the heart of cattle and hog
county, ethanol plants, Craig, Ireton, Le Mars and Brunsville elevators all with outstanding
marketing programs, give you a fantastic chance
For Complete Details, Photos & Video go to
at outstanding opportunities and flexibility.
Whether you would like to buy a quarter or a rare
www.BrockAuction.com
chance at a short ½ section, this will be an
opportunity you won’t want to miss. Dream a big
dream for your future and try your best to make it
come true!! Take a hard look at these 2 farms
and see if you can envision them in your
operation for generations to come and the impact
they will have.
All the best from all of us at Brock Auction
Company and Auction Reality of America.

TUESDAY, APRIL 15, 2025 • SELL IT WITH A WANT AD 1-800-247-0186 • AREA WIDE AD-VERTISER • A7
What do we do if we don’t have an email address?
If you don't have an email address, we recommend calling in so we
can verify the information on your account. This will not have any
impact on your current subscriptions. If you choose not to call in,
we will continue to deliver your paper the same way you are currently
receiving it.
Is it going to cost more to get both?
The e-editions will be a new feature we will be offering to our
subscribers as an added value to their current subscriptions. There
will be no additional cost to you.
Do we have to get an e-edition?
As long you live within our in-area region or within the state of Iowa,
you will continue to receive your paper through the USPS. If you
are a subscriber who is either a winter traveler or lives out of state,
we will require the e-edition rather than the printed version of the
paper. This allows us to deliver your publication in the most cost
effective and timely manner.
If we don’t want the e-edition will our
paper be cancelled?

Your current subscription will not be cancelled. Our new e-editions
will be an added value to your subscription. They will allow you to
read your news digitally on the morning of publication.
What will my email address be used for?
Your email address will grant you access to your online profile which
allows you to start/stop your subscriptions, change addresses, edit
billing information, schedule vacation starts/stops, and much more.
Your email address will not be sold to a third party.
