MURRANE FAMILY FARMS
Tom Murrane was born and raised on a farm near Bayard where he owned considerable land. Later, Tom started buying land in Clarke and Decatur County in the 1970s. Tom was a true cowman and all his land was pasture most of the time he owned it. This land supported his own cows and other cattlemen rented his land also. He built a home and small feedlot on Hwy 69. Many people in the area knew him well. His wife Janelle passed away in 1999 and Tom passed in 2011. Betty Mies Murrane is Tom’s widow. Tom wanted to keep his land together as long as possible but Janelle’s trust ended recently and there was no other reasonable choice but to sell the land and distribute the funds to his many beneficiaries. Tom had a unique brand for his cattle that you will see immediately above the previous paragraph. We will all remember Tom and trust his land will be held in good hands.

The manure easement is available online at the listing site or we can e-mail or mail it to potential buyers. Manure was applied last fall with a good amount of N-P-K with the analysis available.These applications have done a good job of addressing the tillable acres needs for P & K.
