Mercer County

The Land in Mercer County

Mercer County lies along the Iowa border in the northern reach of northwest Missouri, a region well known among deer hunters for its blend of farmland and timber. Rolling hills carry pasture and hay for cattle, with row crops in the workable bottoms, while wooded ridges and creek drainages provide the cover and edge that grow quality whitetail and hold wild turkey. For the recreational buyer, this is destination deer country; for the farmer, it is dependable grass-and-grain ground with a long livestock tradition. Farm ponds are common across the uplands, and the mix of open field and standing timber gives tracts here genuine versatility for both agriculture and sport.
