58236 280th Street, Ames, IA 50010 - Story County

Conventiently placed halfway between Cambridge and Ames, this farm has tillable acres that are presently in the Conservation Reserve Program with the north 32.22 acres contact expiring on 10.1.25 and the south 2.41 acres expiring 10.1.31. The land could possibly be re-enrolled or farmed in 2026. Possibly eligible for organic production.

As far as we know there is no tile on the property but the surface water drains to the west road ditch, out through a large double box culvert near the SW corner and finally under R-70 towards the Skunk River. There is also a berm and ditch to the south feeding water to this west road ditch.

Most of the land is in the 100 year flood zone except 2.4 acres, m/l in the NE corner. This area is eligible for building a home and/or buildings and grain bins.
