Annual Fall Lease Auctions Scheduled For School Land Trust The 34th annual School Land Trust lease auctions will begin October 17, 2016 in Beaver County and conclude November 1, 2016 in Shawnee. This year's fall lease auctions will include a total of 574 tracts in 30 counties.


"Each October, state school land is leased for agricultural farming and grazing, as well as for recreational use" said Harry Birdwell, Secretary of the Commissioners of the Land Office. "Some leases are suitable for agricultural use and others are ideal for hunting, fishing or other personal enjoyment uses."


All leases are for a term of five years. Minimum bids are listed for each tract. Detailed lists are available from the Land Office at (405) 521-4000 or 1-888-35-LANDS. The information is also available on line here.


Leases in Beaver County will be auctioned at the Beaver County Fairgrounds at 2:00 p.m. on October 17th. Cimarron County leases will be offered at 9:00 a.m. October 18th at the Cimarron County Fairgrounds, and bidding for Texas County leases begins at 2:00 p.m. at the Texas County Fairgrounds in Guymon on October 18th.


Leases in Harper, Ellis, Woodward, Major and Woods counties will be offered on October 19th at 10:00 a.m. at the High Plains Vo-Tech in Woodward. Leases in Beckham, Caddo, Kiowa and Washita counties will be auctioned at 10:00 a.m. at the Western Technology Center in Burns Flat on October 24th.


On October 25th, leases in Alfalfa, Blaine, Garfield, Grant, Kay and Kingfisher counties will be auctioned at the Garfield County Fairgrounds in Enid beginning at 10:00 a.m.


Comanche, Cotton, Jackson and Tillman county lease auctions will be held October 26th at 10:00 a.m. in Lawton at the Great Plains Technology Center. Leases in Logan, Noble, Payne and Pawnee counties will be auctioned at the Payne Expo Center in Stillwater at 10:00 a.m. on October 31st.


Auctions will conclude in Shawnee at the Gordon Cooper Tech Center on November 1st at 10:00 a.m. with Cleveland, Lincoln, Oklahoma and Pottawatomie counties.


Statewide, 750,000 acres are actively managed by the Land Office and revenue generated from lease auctions is distributed to Oklahoma schools and universities. Birdwell said more than $134 million was distributed to education beneficiaries by the Commissioners of the Land Office last year.
