Commission approves advertisement for farm lease expiring this year

Cass County Redevelopment Commission · August 17, 2026

Summary

The commission voted to advertise the farm lease that expires at year-end, discussing keeping it at about 22 acres (possible 22.5) and favoring a three-year lease for farming stability to allow investments such as lime or fertilizer.

The commission agreed to advertise the county farm lease that expires at the end of the year and discussed recommending a three-year lease term to encourage tenant investment in soil improvements. Members noted the parcel is roughly 22 acres, with a possible increase to about 22.5 acres depending on final boundary checks.

One member said a three-year lease "is nice to have a 3 year grama just so you can do things," explaining that multi-year terms allow tenants to add lime or fertilizer without year-to-year uncertainty. After brief discussion about tree removal, mowing contracts and exact acreage, the commission voted to advertise the lease for solicitations.
