C04_WI FY2027 AWMA SOW - Exhibit 2 - AWMA Wisconsin.pdf

This document is Exhibit 2 of a Wisconsin land valuation solicitation, defining five primary land use categories for which vendors must provide fair market value opinions on a per-acre basis across specified market areas. The five land use categories are: (A) Cropland—land farmed for commodity crops at least once in the last five years, including associated non-infrastructure critical to farming drained hydric soils such as ditches, buffers, pump stations, and irrigation pivots, with Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) enrolled land qualifying as cropland; (B) Hayland—land farmed for hay production at least three of the last five years or cropped at least once during the last ten years; (C) Pasture—land primarily used for livestock forage production with no cropping or hay production in the last five years; (D) Woodland—land dominated by woody species (greater than 50% cover) with a minimum height of fifteen feet at maturity; and (E) Wetland—land containing hydric soils with current hydrology supporting hydrophytic plant communities, or land idle for ten or more years that does not qualify as woodland.

Additionally, Wisconsin requests that vendors provide a separate reporting section documenting any property sales encumbered by Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) conservation easements. The valuations should reflect typical fair market values and be organized by the market areas identified in Exhibit 1 of the solicitation.
