0002 CR-290 Asbury, MO 64832

This 70-acre mixed-use farm near Joplin, MO, offers a combination of agricultural soils and whitetail deer and turkey hunting habitat. Approximately 30 acres consist of Class II tillable soils, primarily Cherokee silt loam and Opolis silt loam, known for their productivity and moisture-holding capacity. These soils support row-crop production and provide income potential through owner operation or cash rent, while also serving as a food source for local wildlife. The surrounding agricultural landscape enhances the property's value, as nearby crop fields create a forage base that helps sustain a healthy deer and turkey population. Two live water features, Blackberry Creek and Pond Creek, traverse the property and provide water while contributing to the farm's wildlife habitat and hunting dynamics. The creeks feature steep banks and natural terrain variation which combine to create travel corridors and natural pinch points. The farm contains a mix of hardwood and softwood timber that contributes to its wildlife carrying capacity. Mast-producing hardwoods provide seasonal food sources, while softwoods and thick understory vegetation create thermal cover and security habitat. Evidence of mature whitetail activity across the property is remarkable. Turkey hunting is equally impressive, as the combination of mature timber, creek corridors, open agricultural ground, and nesting cover supports a large and stable turkey population. The creeks provide water and roosting habitat while the surrounding open areas create strutting zones during the spring season. Electric and rural water are available at the road, allowing for potential cabin sites, hunting lodge construction, or a future country home.
