Pre-Auction Viewing
Feel free to view this property at your leisure when the ground is dry or frozen.

We are pleased to offer the productive Russell Flair Farm Ground at public auction on Monday, December 14th. A survey is being conducted and may be available by sale day but certainly, well ahead of the closing. The final sale price will be adjusted to the actual surveyed acres.

The Tillable ground is 95.85 FSA determined acres and is bordered by gravel road on two sides. The North boundary is the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad. The two 32,500 bushel grain bins sell with the farm ground.

In Spring, the contents of three machine sheds completely full of a myriad of mostly new items, and inventory collected over 50 years will sell along with the home, outbuildings and farmstead. Watch our website and advertising for this unique portion of the Flair Auctions.

With Russell’s’ retirement, he has purchased a home in Springfield and is transitioning there.

Please plan to be with us, visit with Russ, and bid your judgment on this highly tillable, ideally located Saline County row crop farm. The outside personal property will sell AFTER the farm land.
Chas, Colton, and Mike
