Description

Historic Chippewa County Farmland For Sale! - Chippewa County in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula dedicates much of its land to agriculture and is a major state producer of hay and forage. Key crops include hay, haylage, oats, soybeans, wheat, and Christmas trees. - This farmland has been owned by the same pioneering farm family for generations. The family’s ancestor emigrated from Canada in 1882, purchased 80 acres in Rudyard Township, cleared the land while working winter lumber camps, built a home, and raised five children. Two brothers later joined him, establishing a long-standing agricultural legacy. The current generation, operating a national hay brokerage, is now retiring — offering a rare opportunity for a new family to continue this tradition. - Forages are the backbone of U.P. Agriculture, with Chippewa County supporting over 34, 000 acres of hay and pastureland. The climate is ideal for high-quality cool-season grasses such as timothy and alfalfa, with regional hay even shipped to specialty markets. - This property produces premium Timothy Grass, valued for its high fiber, moderate protein, and low sugar—ideal for most horses. Timothy requires at least 18 inches of annual rainfall; this region receives 33–35 inches, ensuring optimal growing conditions. - Property Overview: • 417± total acres • 338± acres tillable hay/pastureland • 10± wooded acres providing habitat for whitetail deer, grouse, turkey, rabbit, and the region’s notable sharp-tailed grouse. • 69± acres of mixed vegetation and potential building sites. - The fertile land is suitable for cattle, calves, sheep, and specialty uses such as Christmas trees, ornamentals, corn mazes, pumpkin patches, and other agritourism ventures. - Portions of the property also have potential for solar or wind energy projects, offering future revenue options. - A 54' x 160' (8, 640 sq ft) pole barn stores up to 15, 000 small square bales and is large enough for farm-to-table events featuring local foods, wines, and craft beer. - Location Advantages: The farm fronts M-48 with year-round access to I-75 and US-2, major routes for transporting agricultural products from the Upper Peninsula to markets statewide and nationwide. - Operations and Income: Recent hay yields and production history will be made available to qualified buyers. - For Information Contact Us Today!
