Ohio River row crop, timberland sold in February

HENDERSON, Ky. — The Keene heirs’ 589 acres of crop and timberland was auctioned Feb. 22 by Kurtz Auction & Realty Company after being held by the same family for several generations. The long rectangular tract was a mix of first and second river bottomland on the Ohio River between Owensboro and Henderson, Ky. The land was sold first in two tracts, a 412.88 acre and a 176.28 acre tract. Then the timber was sold. The smaller tract (with 85 percent cropland) sold for $5,100 per acre and the larger tract (with 67 percent cropland) sold for $2,900 per acre. About 120 acres of timber rights on the larger tract sold for $100,000.

When timber and land were figured together the 589 acres sold for a total of $2,205,385 or $3,744 per acre. Without improvements, buildings or irrigation, this auction was a good indication for the value of the land of this type.

A crowd of about 150 attended the auction at the local parish hall. Forty people from the tri-state area registered to bid on land, timber or both. Jim Goetz, a veteran auctioneer with Kurtz, was in charge of the auction. Kurtz utilizes various strategies to market farm properties. After several meetings with the owners, Jim Goetz decided on a plan and the manner utilized to auction this property. That plan and strategy were instrumental in obtaining a more than satisfactory price for the sellers.
