Budget estimate

$200,000 – $1,000,000

The solicitation does not disclose the lease price. Based on typical market rates for agricultural land in western Kentucky (approximately $300‑$800 per acre per year) and assuming a multi‑year lease (e.g., 3‑5 years), the total contract value could range from roughly $1 million to $4.5 million over the lease term. A conservative single‑year estimate would be $300 k‑$900 k. Therefore, a reasonable budget estimate for the initial year is $200,000‑$1,000,000, acknowledging that the final amount will depend on negotiated lease rates and term length.
