Grazing, Farming and Conservation Leasing

The Land Board and IDL have statutory authority to lease approximately 2.5 million acres of endowment land for grazing, farming and conservation.

Revenue generated from these leasing activities provides vital funding to the endowment beneficiaries, including Idaho’s public schools. Idaho’s constitution requires IDL to maximize the revenue generated from these lands for the beneficiaries.

Any individual, company or governmental agency that wishes lease endowment land for grazing, farming or conservation must obtain a lease from IDL.
