At the request of the Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, the Division of Real Properties issues this invitation to bid on the lease of agricultural land at the Taylorsville Lake Wildlife Management Area located in Anderson and Spencer County Kentucky. The land is to be utilized to produce small grains, corn or soybeans, as indicated on the enclosed bid forms.

Sealed bids, subject to the conditions contained herein, will be opened at the Division of Real Properties, Room 300, Bush Building, 403 Wapping St., 3rd Floor, Frankfort, Kentucky, 40601, on Wednesday, November 25, 2026, 3:00

Property to be Leased: The land to be leased is owned or licensed to the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources and is utilized for the purpose of implementing, operating and managing fish and wildlife programs. The land to be bid consists of approximately 148 acres.

The land is to be utilized for the production of small grains. Several fields and portions of fields on the property have been retired as part of habitat management programs on the area. Tenants shall not enter, disturb, drive in or through, mow, spray, or otherwise alter these fields or boarders without approval of the supervising biologist. See the Taylorsville Lake WMA Land Use Conditions and Contract Annex for further information. Each field can be identified by a field number, assigned by the area supervisor, which corresponds to the listing in the bid form. The bid form shows a designated five-year crop rotation for each field. Acreage and field delineation of annual winter wheat plantings will be designated on an as needed basis, to be determined by the Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife Resources, with permitting weather conditions.

Bids should indicate the annual per acre cost rental that the bidder is willing to pay for each acre of either corn or soybean during the five- year period. In addition, the bidder must agree to purchase and spread $2,000.00 of gravel (gravel type determined by area manager) on river road per contract year. The lessee is not expected to pay rental on any field during the year(s) that they are fallow or in special food for cover plots with KY Dept of Fish and Wildlife Resources. In the fields that will be planted to row crops (corn or soybeans), the cash rental is in addition to leaving five (5%) percent of crop in the field. With approval from the supervising biologist, any crop left standing after March 15 may be harvested by the tenant or an alternate designated by the agency in preparation for planting the following year’s crop. Any such harvest shall be conducted on a 50/50 share basis, with 50% of the harvested crop allocated to the tenant and 50% allocated to the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources (KDFWR). The tenant shall pay KDFWR the market value of its 50% share by check

Little, Wes W (FW) Is this enough?

Cobban, Bryan B (FW) I think I would take more gravel and reduce the payment of the contract. So make it $2,000?

Little, Wes W (FW) Is this enough?

Cobban, Bryan B (FW) They only leave what doesn’t produce. I think this is fine. We don’t get that much of a benefit from leaving have 5 or 10% but it does help hunters feel better.

2. The Lessee shall comply with soil test recommendations and lime row crop fields at the recommended rate and hay fields at 50 percent the recommended rate. Lime applications do not have to exceed 2 tons per acre. The application of Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and Potassium the following recommendation should be followed as a general rule:

If Phosphorous and Potassium levels, according to the soil test, are in the Medium to High range it is not necessary to make an application unless a crop response is expected. Applications should be made if range levels fall into the Low to Medium categories. No less than the minimum recommendations should be applied in these instances. Maximum levels should never be exceeded and or generally not recommended due to their inefficacy.

Test results showing the need for trace elements should be treated on an as needed basis. 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. 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. This would be based on the fields past average bushel yield. Nitrogen fixing cover crops are encouraged and recommended to be used when ever possible. The use of anhydrous ammonia as a nitrogen source is not recommended because of the cumulative damage to soil micro organisms and a general decline in soil tilth. Department staff will not utilize anhydrous ammonia and will recommend all tenants convert to other more environmentally friendly forms of Nitrogen such as Urea, Diammonium Phosphate, etc.

C. Tillage Practices

Tillage for fall cover crops or fall sown grain crops should be performed no later than November 15th without approval of the area supervisor.

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 fall with 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 Department Wildlife Management Areas.

1. All streams, (perennial, intermittent, storm event, etc) shall be protected by a riparian zone for a minimum of 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 when it is a necessary component of management (for example waterfowl flight corridors).

3. Other field boarders such as property boundaries, fence rows, roadsides, etc. shall have a vegetated strip of not less than 50 feet of undisturbed soil.
