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.

Sugar Creek forms the southern boundary and creates a natural division between the tillable acres and the wooded bottomland.

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.
