Recent farm sales in Fayette County
Big tracts. Row crop. Vandalia at the center.
Fayette is where the big tracts trade. Six figures is the floor — every recent sale on record here ran from 68 to 1,410 acres, and most of them cleared seven figures. This is row-crop country, and buyers show up ready to close on size.
Vandalia does the heavy lifting. Four of the county's six largest recent sales sit in or around it, including the 1,410-acre farm that's still the biggest single tract this team has ever closed — $8.35 million.
Brownstown and Farina round out the county, proof the demand isn't limited to one zip code — steady closings in the 75-120 acre range alongside the headline deals.
Thirty farm sales and $20.7 million in volume since 2018 is a track record, not a sales pitch — every number above is a closed MARIS MLS transaction with Mitch Cain's name on it.
