Man Buys Linn County Farm For Truck Farm Development
Bizek's garage owner on Johnson avenue NW purchased the south forty of the William Machacek farm on Sixth street road one mile south of Frontier park for 162.50 an acre, paying 6500 cash. Possession passed Saturday. The soil is black loam and the site includes a four room cottage plus a barn and hog house to be moved at Bizek’s expense. This was Linn County's highest farm land price in months, with thirteen nearby sales reported by Childs Realty showing many cash deals. Bizek plans to convert the property into a truck farm and his father operates a 25 acre truck farm nearby on Johnstown road.
