The Warren County Board of Commissioners opened sealed bids for pasture and multiple county farm tracts and agreed to postpone awarding leases until a detailed comparison at a working meeting on Sept. 21.
County staff read bids aloud: speaker 6 reported an early pasture bid from Matt Elmas with a per-acre figure and later noted Tristan Barnes and Carson Myers each bid $300 per acre for county track(s). Speaker 3 said Joseph Silkers submitted $2.82 per acre and that some proposals included long supporting letters on soil quality.
