Pemiscot County

The Land in Pemiscot County

Pemiscot County occupies the far southeastern corner of Missouri, bounded by the Mississippi River and built entirely of the rich alluvial soil the great river laid down. The land runs flat and deep, given over to cotton, soybeans, corn, and rice in expansive, often irrigated fields. This is investment farmland at its most straightforward — level, fertile, and worked hard. The river frontage and its backwater sloughs add a recreational dimension, drawing waterfowl to flooded fields and low ground through the season, with dove hunting along the field margins. Buyers looking for productive delta cropland with a Mississippi River influence will find Pemiscot squarely in that tradition. It is farm country, shaped and fed by the river at its edge.
