Description

Midwest Land Group is proud to present this irrigated grass-based dairy farm located just outside Carthage, MO! Conveniently between Joplin and Springfield north of historic Route 66, this impressive grass-based dairy operation is a must see. The expansive property boasts 873+/- contiguous acres with a high percentage of productive farm ground. Primarily Class II and III soils with predominantly silt loam soils, the land is currently seeded to fescue and rye grass for intensive grazing but could easily support row crops. The farm is fenced and cross fenced with over forty-two paddocks for rotational grazing. An organized watering system has been implemented to provide a waterer in each paddock. Additionally, three Valley center pivots cover the farm spanning over 350 irrigated acres. The non-pivot acres still have access to water as the current operation runs K lines. Improvements on the farm include two forty-head milking parlors, six homes, two hay barns, a machine shed, and a calving facility. Equipment and cattle can be potentially purchased but would be sold separately from the real estate. Could be sold as a package deal depending on the offer, but a price for real estate must be established first. The grass-based dairy currently operates under a pasture-based milk program and is highly efficient. Cows are known for their high butterfat content which has allowed for premiums. Milk is marketed with DFA and is pulled off Federal Order 7. Upon on offer, the seller is willing to discuss access to a specialty and lucrative milk agreement which supplies A2, non-GMO, pasture-based milk to a niche brand at $5.00/cwt premium to DFA payments. This impressive grass-based dairy operation is a must-see!
