Listing #19828 - 1110.31 Acres In Wayne County, IA

Peoples Company is honored to represent the Helen M. Snider Estate and the Milo E. Snider Trust in the auction of their family farm located southwest of Seymour, Iowa. The family’s connection to this land began when Helen’s late parents, Cor and Myrle Swan, started assembling the farmland in 1920. After marrying in 1944, Milo and Helen Snider made their home on the farm, where they raised their three children—Art, Craig, and Anita—and built a life deeply rooted in agriculture and the surrounding community. Milo was a lifelong farmer who also served area producers for many years as a seed dealer for Cargill Seed Company. For many years, Milo and Helen also worked together selling crop insurance for Farmers Mutual Hail Insurance Company. Helen was well known throughout the area for her upholstery business, through which she served many local families and formed lasting relationships within the community. The offering of this farm represents more than the sale of agricultural land—it marks the transition of a property that has been an important part of the Snider family’s life and legacy for generations.
Offered in fifteen tracts, the Snider farmland portfolio provides buyers with the flexibility to purchase an individual property or assemble a combination suited to their operation, investment objectives, or recreational interests. This diverse offering includes high-quality farmland, productive pastureland and hay ground, recreational land, potential building sites, and an exceptional home with accompanying buildings. Situated in a tightly held area of Wayne County, Iowa, these properties are available to the public for the first time in many years, including tracts that have remained in family ownership for more than a century. With tracts of varying sizes, buyers may bid on a single tract or assemble the combination that best aligns with their objectives and budget. Surveyed Acre Amounts: Tract 1: 50.80 Surveyed Acres
