From the Blackford County Commissioners meeting on September 21, 2026

Blackford County commissioners voted to seek bids for farming rights instead of holding the ground for the Soil and Water office.

The discussion showed county officials deciding to put the acreage back into a lease process that could produce revenue. No rent amount was set at this meeting because the county was only starting the bid process.

The transcript clearly preserves the motion to open the land for bids. It does not clearly preserve the return or opening date for those bids. Speakers appeared to discuss either Oct. 5 or Oct. 19 after allowing time for legal advertising.
