Daviess County Commissioners thinking of auctioning off county own farmland

WASHINGTON – Daviess County commissioners are thinking of auctioning off farmland the county owns.

For decades, the county has rented out the farmland.

The county owns around 34 acres of farm ground near the airport. That land is currently being rented by Flat Creek Farms for $6,300. But, the airport is now interested in using approximately 10 acres for expansion.

The county also owns 40 acres of farmland near the county highway garage. That land is currently being leased to Keith Graber and Sons for $3,220.
