Public Land Leases Expiring at the End of the Year

Many of those who lease public lands from the State of South Dakota will be getting options notices in the mail next week.

South Dakota School & Public Lands Commissioner Ryan Brunner says those leases run out at the end of the year.

Brunner says the lease price will go up a bit by next spring.

Brunner says the demand for grazing land continues to push up the payments.

The state owns a total of just over seven hundred sixty thousand acres of grazing land.
