The farm is located in Roe, Arkansas, and contains approximately 1,143+/- acres. With easy irrigation and proven yields, this farm provides good income to subsidize world-class deer hunting and excellent waterfowl hunting opportunities. The Lawson-Totter Farm has a rich heritage, steeped in history. As the family legend goes, a member of the Trotter clan, a horse trader from Carrolton, Missouri, was on his way down to south Arkansas to deliver some Missouri Fox Trotters. As he was passing through Monroe County, the then-Governor of Arkansas, Simon P. Hughes, noticed the team of horses and asked to purchase them. The family member said that these horses were already spoken for, but back where I come from, there are plenty more. Writing to his cousin, Fletcher Trotter, he informed him of Governor Hughes desire to buy their horses in a trade for land in Arkansas. Soon thereafter, in 1893 Fletcher Trotter loaded up a boxcar full of Missouri Fox Trotters and traded them for a farm. Extending beyond the familys own history of the land, the farm rests on the original road bed of the Memphis to Little Rock Military Road, which was Arkansass first federal highway commissioned by Congress in 1824. It is also the route many Native Americans used during the Trail of Tears in the 1830s and the path that countless Union and Confederate forces traveled during the Civil War. Beyond the deep historical significance of the farm, it also has a great hunting and farming record. The same deer club has been leasing the 600+ acres of woods for the past 26 years with great success in harvesting trophy bucks. Even with minor hunting history on the various ponds and reservoirs, there are many waterfowl opportunities at hand. It would be relatively easy to set this property up as a major waterfowl farm due to its rice ground and its excellent setting, less than a mile from the White River. Besides deer, ducks, and fishing, this farm offers a rare opportunity to hunt turkeys in this part of the state. The property has a good turkey population and several have been harvested in recent years. The 12-year average farm yields on rice and soybeans are on par with state yields at 179 and 51 bushels per acre, respectively. The three-year average corn yields are 177 bushels per acre. There are a total of 433+/- acres of tillable soil. Overall, this is an exceptional piece of land, affording incredible possibilities. +/- 1,143 Total Acres +/- 433 Crop Base…
