Chariton County, Missouri is widely recognized for its fertile farmland and exceptional hunting opportunities. The area's rich soils, nourished by the Chariton River and its tributaries, provide some of the state’s best crop production while supporting abundant wildlife, including a thriving population of deer and turkey.

The East Fork bottoms extend northward into the rolling hill country just east of Salisbury, Missouri. This varied topography creates some of the most sought-after combination farm and hunting properties in the region. This 158-acre property, along with the surrounding land, showcases nearly every habitat type imaginable. The farm boasts approximately 73 acres of fertile, rolling hill and bottomland soils, combined with 48 acres of CRP set to expire on September 30, 2026. It also features beautiful hardwoods, dense cedar thickets, strategic food plot locations, and rich cover, making it a true wildlife haven.

From an income perspective, the farming rights are currently open. There is an offer of $210 per acre on the 73 tillable acres, generating $15,530 annually for the 2026 crop year. Additionally, the land offers solid hunting lease income, with an annual offer of $6,000. The remaining open ground produces reliable CRP income, with 48 acres receiving $123 per acre, or $5,904 annually. These acres are signed up for CRP renewal this fall but could easily be transitioned to tillable production for an increased ROI. As-is, the farm would generate $27,234 annually or more, with some cleanup this fall.

Having been meticulously farmed and cared for over the last 20 years, this property has been fertilized and managed for maximum productivity, with a consistent corn and soybean crop rotation. In 2025, the farm produced an impressive 212 bushels per acre of corn. With good road frontage and multiple access points, the property offers excellent access for farm equipment.

The hunting opportunities here are exceptional, especially during turkey season. The mornings are filled with the sound of gobbles echoing across the land. Over the years, the property has developed a reputation for consistent, successful hunting, including numerous trophy whitetail deer harvested with both archery and rifle. The mix of creek-bottom stretches, secluded interior fields, prime bedding areas with favorable topography, and multiple access points make this farm an ideal retreat for serious deer hunters.

There are several potential building and cabin sites, and the property is conveniently located just one mile south of Highway 24 and four miles east of Salisbury.
