Peoples Company is pleased to present 158+/- acres of highly versatile land located south of Tecumseh, Nebraska in Johnson County. Offering a blend of productive pasture, hay ground, farmland potential, and recreational appeal, this property provides an excellent opportunity for producers, outdoor enthusiasts and investors alike.
The land features abundant forage suitable for grazing with portions of the property offering favorable topography for hay production. Water resources include two ponds located near the center and southern portions of the tract, providing water access for livestock and wildlife. Notably, the farm was not leased during the 2026 growing season, allowing forage stands to rest and recover, contributing to the overall condition and productivity of the grassland.
According to the Farm Service Agency, the farm consists of 121+/- cropland acres. The property includes 12.44+/- base acres of corn with a PLC yield of 84+/- and 39.43+/- base acres of soybeans with a PLC yield of 27+/-. Predominant soil types include class III and IV Pawnee clay loam (4-8% slopes) and Burchard-Steinauer clay loams (11-17% slopes) with an overall NCCPI rating of 48.5. The area receives approximately 33 inches of average annual precipitation, supporting both forage production and agricultural operations.
Beyond its agricultural value, the property offers excellent wildlife habitat and recreational opportunities. Mature tree-lined draws, particularly in the southeastern portion of the parcel, provide natural shelter for livestock while creating ideal habitat for whitetail deer, wild turkey, and other wildlife. Several areas throughout are well-suited for food plots, stand locations, and other habitat improvements, making this an attractive property for hunting and outdoor recreation.
Access is gained from the north via 722 Road, a well-maintained gravel road, with additional access along the east boundary from 616 Avenue, a dirt road. The property has been held and well cared for by the Baum family since the early 1900s. Whether you are looking to expand an existing livestock operation, add productive farmland acreage to your portfolio, or enjoy the recreational benefits of southeastern Nebraska land ownership, this property offers a unique combination of agricultural utility and natural appeal.
The auction will be conducted on the Peoples Company Bid Wrangler auction platform. Bidding is live with a soft close Wednesday, September 23, 2026 at 11AM. For additional information, contact Amy Mohr, Land Agent.
