McLean County, IL Land iAuction  

After careful thought and due to several factors including family members not living in the area, the family has decided to sell our 81± acres that have been in our family since the late 1800's at an internet-only auction.

Wednesday, September 29, 2021 at 10:00 AM. 

These 81± flat to gently rolling acres are conveniently located just east of Downs, IL on E 800 North Road. The Farm Service Agency figures 70 acres of highly productive cropland consisting mostly of Radford and Mayville silt loams with a 115 PI farm average. The balance of the land is in woods and waterways. The farm will sell free and clear of any tenants and leases for the 2022 crop year.
