Agricultural Land for Sale in Shelby, Nebraska

Productive 80± Acre Polk County Farm 3 Miles North of Shelby, Nebraska Opportunities to acquire quality farmland in this tightly held area of Polk County are increasingly rare, with typically only two or three properties offered for sale each year. For farmers seeking to expand their operation or investors looking to add a productive agricultural asset to their portfolio, this true 80± acre tract deserves serious consideration. The property offers approximately 77.5 tillable acres of productive dryland cropland, featuring predominantly Hasting's silt loam soils, less than 1% slope, and a strong NCCPI rating of 68.9. Historical average yields are reported at approximately 192 bushels per acre for corn and 84 bushels per acre for soybeans, demonstrating the farm's consistent production potential. The level topography and tract configuration may also provide an opportunity for future pivot irrigation development, subject to water availability, applicable regulations, permitting, and further investigation by the buyer. Located just three miles north of Shelby, this farm combines productive soils, a high percentage of tillable acres, and a location where quality farmland seldom becomes available. Whether you are expanding an existing operation, adding to a land investment portfolio, or positioning your family for the future, this is an opportunity worth pursuing. The current owner will retain all rights to the 2026 crop and associated crop income.
