Carroll County, Iowa Online Only Farmland Auction - Mark your calendars for Wednesday, February 25th, 2026! I'm pleased to represent the Lucht Family in the sale of their family farm located 4 miles east of Glidden, Iowa and 1 mile northwest of Ralston, Iowa along paved U.S. Highway 30. The farm includes highly productive cropland and a building site in the southwest corner of the farm. This affordable farmland tract consists of 38.23 total acres more or less and has 33 FSA NHEL (Non Highly Erodible Land) cropland acres with a CSR2 soil rating of 84. Prominent soil types include highly productive Canisteo clay loam, Harps clay loam, and Nicollet loam. County drainage tile is located on the tract, with a 12" main running through the northeast corner of the tract. Water on the farm drains to the east, eventually out letting into an open ditch one mile east of the farm in in Section 25 of Glidden Township. See the attached 'Tile Map' for approximate locations. An existing building site of approximately 3.37 acres is located on the southwest corner of the tract and includes a single-family home built in the early 1900’s. The house has approximately 1,560 sq. ft. of living area and a smaller 240 sq. ft. porch. The acreage site has the same high-quality soils as the rest of the farmland and offers an opportunity for a Buyer to convert the building site to farmland/tillable acres or for a building site or acreage located on US Hwy 30.
