SOUTH BEND, Ind., July 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Approximately 525 acres of agricultural land near South Bend sold at auction for $4,525,000 Wednesday, with Schrader Real Estate and Auction Company managing the sale. The successful auction of farm equipment added $690,975, bringing the total for the day to more than $5.2 million.

The auction featured part of the holdings of Robert Newton, co-founder of Hoosier Racing Tire, who died in 2012. It was conducted in a building immediately behind the Hoosier Racing Tire Corporate Headquarters in Lakeville.

"We had an excellent auction, with a great crowd and good participation from both investors and farmers. Most importantly, the family is very happy with the outcome," said Gene Klingaman, executive vice president of the auction company. "These assets didn't fit into the plans of the family, and I'm glad to see that we were able to get them a good result," he said.
