Auctioneer Remarks:

Premier Land & Auction Group is honored to represent the Gaffney and Adams families in offering these exceptional farms to the public. These farms have not been available for purchase since the 1860s and have been meticulously cared for by the same farming family for more than 40 years.

Northern Holt County, Missouri, is well known for its rich tradition of century farms, where land is passed down through multiple generations. It is rare, however, to see property of this quality and history come to market. That makes this offering a truly unique opportunity for the next owner.

Each tract features a strong location, well-maintained improvements, and the kind of stewardship that ensures long-term productivity and value. Whether you are a farmer looking to expand your operation or an investor seeking proven agricultural land, these farms stand out as an excellent choice.

We encourage you to make plans today to participate in the auction and bid with confidence. Opportunities like this, rooted in generations of care and tradition, do not come along often.
