ITEM ONE: QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

QUESTION #1

Do you have to bid on all 3 pastures as a whole or is each pasture potentially a different lease?

ANSWER #1

ANSWER #2

See Figure One on page 4.

QUESTION #3

Where are we allowed to build a trap/cowpens on each lease?

During the term of the Contract, Contractor, at its sole expense, shall maintain insurance coverage of such types and with such terms and limits as may be reasonably associated with the Contract.
