The tenant must comply with additional requirements such as not using neonicotinoid treated seeds, avoiding the use of Dicamba, and leaving 5% of crops standing for wildlife. The Illinois DNR will provide herbicide for wheat fields. Failure to adhere to the cropping plan may result in termination of the lease.

The tenant will be required to pay the agreed upon per acre lease amount if a field is left idle due to weather conditions preventing the scheduled crop from being planted. The incumbent tenant is Ray Norbut. Funding for this contract opportunity comes from the State of Illinois.
