Nearly 12,000 acres of Easterday family farmland in Benton County will likely sell for more than its $210 million asking price, according to court documents and sources with knowledge of the deal.

The highest bidder will be confirmed at a bankruptcy auction held next week.
The deal is subject to the federal court’s sale hearing on July 14.
