Rye Fields 2018.xls

This is a rye field acreage estimation spreadsheet prepared for a 2010 contract group covering multiple counties in Michigan, including Benzie, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska, Manistee, Leelanau, and Wexford. The document catalogs both current and new rye field plantings across these jurisdictions, organizing the data by county and individual field locations with corresponding acreage measurements. The spreadsheet identifies 292.6 total acres of rye fields distributed across the service area, with current fields comprising 142.6 acres and new fields accounting for 150.0 acres. The document further organizes these holdings into five distinct bid areas with specific township, range, and section designations for geographic precision and contract administration purposes.

The acreage is distributed as follows: Bid Area #1 (Benzie and surrounding counties) contains 130.8 acres, Bid Area #2 (Grand Traverse) contains 73.5 acres, Bid Area #3 (Kalkaska) contains 56.9 acres, Bid Area #4 (Kalkaska) contains 80.2 acres, and Bid Area #5 (Wexford) contains 12.4 acres. The document provides detailed field-level information including specific field names, acreage allocations, and precise legal descriptions to facilitate bidding, management, and contract performance across the multiple counties and geographic zones.
