52.02 acres in Grant County, Wisconsin
Date: July 30, 2025
Price: $23,100 per acre
National Commodity Crop Productivity Index (NCCPI): 84.7
At an auction, two high-quality tracts brought strong results. Tract 1 was 52.02 acres and sold for $23,100 per acre. Tract 2, which was 33.65 acres and had an NCCPI of 84.4, closed at $20,900 per acre. Both farms feature productive Fayette-based soils, excellent access, and efficient layouts, with Tract 1 being nearly 100% tillable, and Tract 2 offering a versatile mix of cropland and pasture. Each tract is leased for the 2025 crop year, with full possession available in 2026, providing immediate income for the buyer while offering long-term flexibility. The combination of strong soils, desirable location (near U.S. Highway 151 and Dubuque, Iowa), and competitive bidding from local operators and regional investors demonstrates the demand for high-quality farmland in southwestern Wisconsin.
