Please note this is a virtual online only auction with real time bidding starting at 8am on Monday July 20th.

I'll give it to you straight, the way my grandfather taught me to — because that's the only way we do business. Good tillable ground in Salem Township is held tight. Most of it has been in the same hands for decades, and the families who own it don't turn it loose lightly. That's exactly what makes this 68.19± acres worth circling on your calendar. Nearly the whole parcel works — 66.38± tillable acres of genuinely productive soil, with Pewamo and Blount holding moisture and yielding the way this country is known for. An average soil score north of 70 isn't a sales pitch; it's the kind of dirt you build an operation around. Think about what this ground does for you. If it joins your farm, it's more acres under your equipment with no new lines to drive across town. If you're buying it as an investment, it's CAUV-enrolled, low-tax, productive land that earns its keep year after year and doesn't make a lot of phone calls. Shroyer Road frontage means you're in and out with the planter and the grain cart without a fight. And you'll own it free and clear, by warranty deed, with a closing date you can plan around. Here's my honest advice: decide what this farm is worth to you before bidding opens, and don't let the calendar talk you out of it. Land like this is bought once and farmed for a generation. When the bidding closes Tuesday afternoon, somebody is going to drive home as the new owner of a fine piece of Shelby County ground. It might as well be you. Bid early, bid your number, and let the soft close do the rest — we'll see you online July 20th and 21st. — Justin Vondenhuevel, Vondenhuevel Auctioneers LLC
