What Does CPI Mean?
The Corn Productivity Index (CPI) is a measure used in Indiana to reflect a soil’s potential corn yield relative to an ideal or benchmark soil. While not directly listed in the soil survey data, CPI is often derived from a soil's NCCPI, WAPI, and local yield data.
-
A CPI near 120+ (like this property’s WAPI average of 122.21) indicates high corn production capability, typically comparable to 160–200+ bushel per acre yields under normal management and rainfall.
-
In general, this farm would be considered strong Class II soils with productive bottomland potential that is limited primarily by floodplain status.
Access & Easements:
The property is accessed by a deeded easement, which is shared with a neighboring landowner and local farmer. Sugar Creek forms the southern boundary and creates a natural division between the tillable acres and the wooded bottomland.
Additional Notes:
-
Floodplain: The entire parcel lies within a designated floodplain. While the creek crossing may become impassable in high-water or wet conditions, this area is known to drain quickly after heavy rains.
-
Wooded Area: The timber along Sugar Creek provides excellent habitat for wildlife and potential recreational use.
