Farm Lease Meeting

Calling all local farmers! Oxbow, Inc. is looking for farmers to farm our land for the 2027-2031 lease term. Farm bid applications will be open December 2026 through the end of January 2027. Oxbow, Inc. will evaluate each proposal based on rent rate, as well as the applicant’s commitment to sustainable farming practices that support soil health, water quality, and wildlife habitat.

During this meeting, farmers will meet with the Oxbow, Inc. farming committee to discuss lease details, the bid application process, and the benefits/challenges of farming in a floodplain. Meeting attendance is not required to put in a bid, but it is highly encouraged as some of our lease terms have changed.
