CRP Break Request – Lease 5756 2022-11-21
Closing Date:
Until Expired
Adam Hemry proposes the breaking and conversion of 512.90 Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acres out of the 561.70 CRP acres under expired CRP contract 11000 on state land lease 5756, referred to herein as the “Project”. See Attachment A – Project Location Map for proposed break acres.
The CRP contract, No. 11000, expired on 9/30/2022. The previous lessee originally re-bid the CRP “as is” but it was rejected by the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) as it did not meet their minimum standards. In order for the tract to be put back into CRP it needed to be sprayed and re-planted, which the previous lessee did not have farm equipment to do so. The lease was then transferred to the current lessee for the purpose of converting the CRP to agricultural land for small grain production.
The purpose of the conversion from CRP acres to agricultural production acres is to increase the overall revenue on lease 5756 for the Common Schools Trust while maintaining the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) land sustainability goals. The Project is expected to occur in the Fall of 2022.

Closing Date:
06-01-2024
Sediment has accumulated on the upstream side of Bay 7 at the Toston Dam on the Missouri River. Dam stability analyses have determined that the maximum safe level for sediment is 3941.6 feet (3944.78 feet NAVD88), or 11 feet below surface water pool level which is maintained at a constant elevation by this run-of-river hydropower project. Currently, the level of sediment in Bay 7 exceeds what is deemed safe under calculated seismic events.
