Budget estimate

$50,000 – $300,000

No specific lease payment is listed. Based on typical Kentucky agricultural lease rates (approximately $40‑$250 per acre per year), leasing 1,269 acres could generate annual revenues ranging from roughly $50,000 at the low end to $300,000 at the high end. The final amount will depend on lease term, land productivity, and negotiated rates.
