Land is moving in Southwest Kansas!
Faulkner Real Estate contracted 2,880 acres for 5 Sellers in 5 counties in Kansas in January. All properties were sold using our "Private Auction" (bid by phone) sales method developed here in Ulysses, Kansas by Mark Faulkner 11 years ago.

Conservation Reserve Program Land (CRP) Selling Well (edit/delete)
Many farmers in the Western Kansas and Eastern Colorado region have expressed concern to me about the millions of acres to come out of CRP in the coming years. In 2009 alone we saw thousands of acres come out of the program and much of it come up for sale. Many feel that the increase in supply will decrease demand. While this theory is well proven and mostly true. Currently there has not been enough over supply to decrease demand.
In fact in some cases it is causing the opposite reaction. Many farmers are seeing this an an unprecedented opportunity to obtain the land they've sought for years that was tied up by CRP and absentee owners. Now that CRP is not as a viable investment option…
