Bidders may bid on as many tracts of land as they want. The land is to be used for the production of small grains, corn, soybeans and hay, as indicated below and in the enclosed bid forms.

Property to be Leased: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers licenses the land to be leased to the KDFWR and is used for implementing, operating and managing a fish and wildlife program according to an approved wildlife management plan. It consists of approximately 1300 acres divided into six management units: (1) Barren River Unit, (2) Beaver Creek Unit, (3) Dry Creek Unit, (4) Long Creek Unit, (5) Peters Creek Unit, and (6) Skaggs Creek Unit.

Each field can be identified within management units by field number, as listed on the enclosed bid forms. Land management options for the land offered for lease are described below. Bidders must identify on the enclosed bid form the option they are bidding on and specify the dollar amount offered per acre. Annual payment for a lease will be required even if a crop is not planted.

LAND MANAGEMENT OPTIONS

Option 1. Land would be farmed using a corn-soybean, or soybean/wheat-corn, or annual small grains rotation on alternate years. Five percent of the crop would be left standing in the field at harvest. Wheat, oats, rye or barley may be used as a winter cover crop and may be harvested as hay or grain crop in the spring before annual small grains, corn, or soybean crops are planted.

Minimum bid would be $120.00 per acre. Cropping must be carried out in compliance with the most current Federal Farm Bill. KDFWR personnel may plant the borders of leased fields to warm season grasses, or other cover during the five-year contract period.

Agricultural practices are essential components to many wildlife resource management activities and provide for overall general wildlife habitat enhancement goals. Agricultural operations on KDFWR owned land, leased or operated properties should follow a general, consistent, uniform pattern for sustainable practices. These programs are developed to enhance and perpetuate Kentucky’s diverse wildlife species and to insure that sustainable land use practices are carried out. Departmental staff uses’ agricultural activities on lands owned or managed for the following reasons:

To utilize farming as a method of maintaining open lands and early successional vegetative cover for wildlife.

Provide food for Sandhill Cranes wintering at Barren River WMA.

To generate monies to help offset operational, maintenance, and habitat costs of the WMA.

To provide public a demonstration of sustainable agricultural techniques on KDFWR owned/managed properties.

Maps, History and Site Visit: Maps showing the property to be leased are included in this bid package. Bidders are urged and expected to inspect the property to be leased and to satisfy themselves as to all general and local conditions that may affect the cost of compliance with the lease terms, to the extent such information is reasonably obtainable. In no event will failure to inspect the site constitute grounds for a claim after the award of the leases.

Biologist, utilize existing structures on the leased premises.

19. The Lessee will maintain low water fords, field edges, remove overhanging limbs into the fields and remove trees and other debris that falls/drifts into their fields.

B. Soil Testing/Fertilization/Lime

1. The Lessee will be required to perform soil tests as required by contract on fields they utilize and provide copies of the test and proof of fertilizer application. For consistency, the University of Kentucky's Extension offices in each county should be used for the soil test services. Tests are recommended a minimum of every two years; all test results and field locations shall be kept on file at the appropriate local office location for each property involved.

The Lessee shall comply with soil test recommendations for lime to maintain the pH at 6.2 +/- 0.2 pH for grain and hay crops, and 6.4 +/- 0.2 pH for alfalfa. Failure to lime crop fields will result in the tenant being charged for lime on the farm contract and/or cancellation.

2. For the application of Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and Potassium the following recommendation should be followed as a rule of thumb by the lessee:

Phosphorous and Potassium levels, according to the soil test need to be in the Medium, Optimum, or High categories. Test results showing the need for trace elements should be treated on an as needed basis and trace elements need to be in the medium or higher categories. Nitrogen applications should be made for the minimum expected yield.

High-end recommended and arbitrary applications are not environmentally or economically sound and should not be made. Failure to keep soil fertility in Medium or above categories will result in the tenant being charged for fertility inputs on the farm contract and/or cancellation.

Nitrogen tests are recommended when feasible. A general recommendation of 1.5 units of nitrogen per bushel of expected yield for the respective field can be used. Corn should be fertilized to yield no less than 150 bushels/acre. Nitrogen fixing cover crops are encouraged and recommended to be used whenever possible. The use of anhydrous ammonia as a nitrogen source is not recommended because of the cumulative damage to soil microorganisms and a general decline in soil tilth. Other micro/macro nutrients and trace elements should be added to the soil if they are limiting yields.

C. Tillage Practices

1. Tillage methods and residue coverage should be consistent and conform with the N.R.C.S.

Conservation Plan that is on file. Practices such as, but not limited to, no-till, conservation tillage, low-till are all encouraged.

2. Spring field preparations, (disking, plowing) shall not begin prior to March 15 without prior approval of Mr. Wayne Tamminga, Public Lands Biologist. Minimum conventional tillage and no-till is encouraged where applicable.

3. No fall tillage (plowing or disking) should take place except for the establishment of cover crops, permanent grass/hay sowing, erosion control or fescue conversions. Tillage for fall cover crops or fall sown grain crops should be performed no later than November 15th without approval of Mr. Wayne Tamminga, Public Lands Biologist.

4. Conventional plowing is not recommended in any of the above situations. Para-plow tillage is acceptable for the disturbance of hardpans and this may be used in the approval of the land manager. Chisel plowing is not accepted for fall use. No soil disturbances should be performed after November 15th.

D. Riparian Vegetation/Buffer zones

Riparian vegetation stabilizes stream banks, provides thermal insulation, reduces stream sediment loads and protects streams from soil, chemical and fertilizer runoff from crop fields. Buffer zones also act as wildlife corridors, travel-ways, escape cover and access-ways. Riparian strips/buffer zones should be either protected or established along/adjacent to all, streams, wetlands, and waterways and crop lands/field borders on KDFWR Wildlife Management Areas.

1. All streams, (perennial, intermittent, storm event, etc.) shall be protected by a riparian zone for a minimum of 50 feet, (preferably 100 feet) on each side of the stream bank. There shall be no canopy disturbance within the first 50 feet of this zone.

2. Ponds, lakes, reservoirs, seasonal and permanent wetlands and other aquatic systems shall have at least a 50 foot riparian zone (preferably 100 feet) on all sides. This zone shall be of undisturbed soil but is subject to rotational mowing or burning by KDFWR when it is a necessary component of management (for example waterfowl flight corridors). Your riparian zones are not part of your field’s acreage you pay payments on

3. Other field borders such as property boundaries, fence rows, roadsides, etc., shall have a vegetated strip of not less than 30 feet of undisturbed soil. These field border buffers are part of your field’s acreage you pay rental payment on.

E. Herbicides

1. There will be no application of restricted use herbicides as designated by the United

States Environmental Protection Agency and the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. (See Mr.

Wayne Tamminga, Public Lands Biologist, for an up to date list or consult the local chemical dealer).

2. There will be no use of insecticides upon KDFWR owned or managed lands.

3. Herbicides are to be used only according to label directions.

4. Only the lowest recommended amount of the chemical that will efficiently and effectively control the weed shall be used.

5. Rotating herbicides will be recommended and used to avoid the development of resistant weeds.

6. Herbicides will not be used within 50 feet of any stream, river, lake, reservoir, wetland or body of water or in accordance with the label directions. Special consideration will be given to prevent any adverse impacts to highly unique habitats which may be host to special flora and fauna.

7. The Lessee shall report herbicide use on a yearly basis using forms provided.

8. Any herbicide containers will be disposed of using any available state, county, or local disposal program. In the absence of available programs, the container must be handled and disposed of following all label directions for that specific container.

F. Noxious Weeds

Tenants will be required to control the following noxious weeds within their rented/leased fields: Thistle: Muss, Scott, Nodding, Canadian; Field Bindweed; Pigweed; Marijuana;

Johnson grass; Sicklepod; Water Hemp; and Multi flora Rose and other herbicide resistant weeds. Tillage and harvest equipment should be cleaned prior to moving to another field, which will help limit weed seed transportation. Noxious weeds will not be controlled in any way that will adversely affect or have any detrimental impact on any wildlife or habitat.

BID FORM

Subject to the General Terms and Conditions and Authentication of Bid and Affidavit of Non- Collusion and Non-Conflict of Interest, I propose to pay the Commonwealth of Kentucky the amount (s) indicated on the attached form “2022 - 2026 CROP PLAN FOR BARREN RIVER LAKE WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA.” Pages and of this bid package should have filled out, signed, stapled to the particular crop plan form (s) for the bidder desires to bid and returned in the enclosed bid envelope.
