It is a family-oriented, all-ages track of roughly 3 acres on mostly loose dirt, deliberately built with paths around every obstacle so it can be ridden as easy or as challenging as the rider wants, and it includes a picnic area and playground. The track is open daily from dawn to dusk on the honor system - riders sign a waiver and drop payment in the on-site box before riding - with no organized racing held there.

It is open for riding seven days a week (call or text the track before you haul, as conditions and prep vary). Organized racing is not held here; it operates strictly as an open-practice facility, and visiting training camps are occasionally hosted on site.

The Farm MX is a long-running motocross and off-road facility at 7451 Nixon Street in Indianola, Warren County, Iowa, just south of Des Moines, long billed as a premier Midwest MX track with a technical layout of jumps, rhythm sections and sharp turns plus a wooded off-road course. Rather than running a fixed weekly schedule, it operates as an event-based venue, hosting MX open-practice days, motocross races, ATV and UTV/side-by-side racing, and off-road hare scrambles and sprint enduros (the off-road course is maintained by the Des Moines Enduro Riders Club).
