When it comes to the number of NHL hockey players produced per acre over the past several decades, Mannville, Alberta, is known to be second only to Viking. But then production comes easy in this area vis a vis many other regions of Western Canada. Lakeland College, one of the premier agricultural colleges in North America, is located just fourteen miles to the east of ‘Farmland Faceoff.’
This highly fertile land situated in an area of extended growing degree days means there are broad cropping options, and ‘Farmland Faceoff’ is no exception to this rule. With a total of 120 acres located just 3.5 miles north of Mannville, and Highway 881 bordering the eastern perimeter, on average a single acre here is known to outproduce many acres in Western Canada. If you're in the game of expanding your farm to take advantage of economies of scale, this is one puck drop you will not want to miss. ‘Farmland Faceoff’ is well-rested, having been used for pasture and hay production for many years. Only recently, eighty acres have been cropped, however many more arable acres could be cropped with ease; the vast majority of the 120 acres can be cultivated.
‘Farmland Faceoff’ was on the leading edge of sustainable agriculture before it was en vogue. This Parcel has seen more of a bovine's back end than a tractor's front end for decades. High in organic matter, the topsoil remains insulated from issues such as chemical residue or soil-borne disease.
Based on arable acres, the Starting Bid has been set at a mere one-third of what land recently sold for by CLHbid.com just south of Ranfurly, in the same County. The Starting Bid has been set to ensure that everyone can come out and play. You will not want to be caught after game day wishing you had shot the puck; do not be overheard telling yourself, "Wayne told me I would miss 100% of the shots I don’t take.” The Surface Lease Revenue cheque that will arrive annually can be considered an added bonus.
