Understanding both the broad and local market is an important part of what we do every day at First Mid Ag Services. Not every farm should be sold the same way and we offer many different approaches to help landowners achieve their goals.

Some properties are ideally suited for a competitive public auction. Others may benefit from a private sale, multiple tracts, a buyers’ choice format, or additional time to prepare for the market.

The right strategy depends on more than the total acres and soil productivity. Location, access, improvements, tenancy, buyer demand, tract configuration, development influence and the landowner’s goals can all affect how a property should be positioned.

That is why the most important work often happens before a farm is ever advertised. A good land sale strategy starts by understanding the property, identifying the most likely buyers and choosing the method that gives the land the best opportunity to perform.

Contact our team across Illinois to learn how we can help you - with locations in Springfield, Peoria, Princeton, Bloomington, Decatur, Bourbonnais and Mattoon to serve you with local expertise! 800-532-LAND!
