ACREAGE: The acreages listed in this brochure are estimates taken from the county assessor’s records, FSA records and/or aerial photos.
SURVEY: The Sellers reserve the right to determine the need for and type of survey provided.

The Sellers will choose the type of survey to be completed and warrant that it will be sufficient to provide an owner’s title insurance policy for the tract.

The price per acre will be the auction price bid for the tract, divided by the tract acreage estimated in the auction brochure.
