Old Hawkins Road Belzoni, MS 39038

Duck Hunters - Rare opportunity to purchase this retired delta fish farm in the Mississippi flyway! Located on JT Woods Road about 2 miles from Hwy 49 in Humphreys County, the last catfish have been seined, and the property is ready for a new direction. Gravel roads crisscross the farm, making every inch of this contiguous property easily accessible. There are three big 16-inch wells that easily keep the ponds full. There's also water and electricity at the little office hut in the center of the property. All of the pumps, seines, aerators, etc. are currently being removed, and no equipment will remain.

In an ideal situation, this farm could be put into the WRP program in the next couple of years and then be transformed into a wildlife haven with the huge bonus of the WRP payment. (There's already well over a thousand acres in WRP just south of this property - see map in photos.) This tract sets up perfectly for the program with farm ground all around and the bayou winding through the southern boundary. Keep some ponds for waterfowl, and have the others drained and planted in trees to create a true delta hunting paradise. While there's no guarantee of it qualifying for WRP, the odds are definitely good.

In the meantime, enjoy some fishing, and start making your plans for the next hunting season. Along with the ponds, the cypress in the bayou help draw in the ducks, and deer travel regularly with plenty of food and good habitat all around.
