The Illinois Department of Natural Resources is soliciting bids for agricultural farming services on state-owned property within the Jim Edgar Panther Creek State Fish & Wildlife Area.

Bidders must follow the IFB’s farming, conservation, reporting, and land-management requirements, and the procurement is an open-market Invitation for Bid rather than a grant program.
