Court Ordered Auction of 3,662 ac +/- Potato Farm

Turn-Key Potato and Small Grain Farm is located approximately 10 miles east of Saint Anthony, Idaho, along the north side of the Teton River canyon (elevation 5,350'). This 3,662 ac +/- farm includes 3,592.5 FSA Cropland acres with 3,435 Pivot Irrigated Cropland acres.

This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase this contiguous farm. The farm has been in the hands of the same family since the late 1930'S spanning 4 generations. It has gone from being a dry land farm to hand line irrigation to mostly pivot irrigation now.

Overall, this location is ideal for a generational increase farm for seed potatoes. The cold winter temperatures make it great for growing seed potatoes by limiting volunteers from previous years and the mild summers make for a great growing season by ensuring that the plants themselves get plenty of heat for growing without getting so much that it stunts plant growth. Having a centralized operations location ensures great efficiency at harvest by not having to move equipment all season long as well as making for a very streamlined experience in the spring when it comes time to start moving your flagship product out the doors.
