LIBERTY, Ind. (Inside INdiana Business) – An 805-acre farm in Union County, owned by the same family for four generations, will be up for grabs Nov. 25. Hunt-Johnson Farms will be auctioned off in 11 tracts by Columbia City-based Schrader Real Estate and Auction Co.
The land has over 700 contiguous acres that will be auctioned in 11 parcels, ranging from 18 acres to 178 acres each.
