Sealed bids, subject to the conditions contained herein, will be opened at the Division of Real Properties, 403 Wapping St, 3rd FL, Frankfort, Kentucky, 40601, on Wednesday, October 20, 2021 at 3 pm EDT.

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 in accordance with an approved Federal Aid Wildlife Management plan. The land to be bid consists of approximately 148 acres.

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 spreading $1,000.00 of gravel (gravel type determined by area manager) on river road. 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 yellow corn, the cash rental is in addition to leaving Five (5%) percent of crop in the field. In the fields that will be planted to soybean, the cash rental is in addition to leaving five (5%) percent of crop in the field.

Winter Wheat will be planted on negotiated contract and a share basis; dependent on field conditions and WMA needs. The shares rate will be 25% winter wheat delivered to the Taylorsville Lake W.M.A. office. A copy of weight tickets for 100% of wheat harvested from the field will also be delivered to the office. The share of crop left in the field shall become the property of the KY Department of Fish and Wildlife Resource's and may not be altered until after March 15th and then only under the terms of a negotiated contract from the KY Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, Supervising Biologist. 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.

History and Field Visit: 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, to the extent such information is reasonably obtainable. In no event will failure to inspect the site constitute grounds for a claim after award of the lease.

Purpose of Leasing: The property will be leased for agricultural purposes primarily to insure a permanent and continued supply of food for wildlife; furnishing sport and recreation for present and future residents of this state.

Bid Forms: Bid forms are available at the Taylorsville Lake Wildlife Management Area office by calling 502- 477-9024. Bid forms list all fields and field numbers.

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 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. 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.

E. Pesticides

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

Environmental Protection Agency and the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. (See the area supervisor for an up to date list or consult the local chemical dealer).
