Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, as amended (90 Stat. 2750, 43 
U.S.C. 1713 and 1719). It has been determined that this land is 
difficult to economically manage as part of the public lands. It has

In accordance with 43 CFR 2711.3-3(a)(5), these two parcels are being 
offered by direct (non-competitive) sale to Wayne and Melodie Baker of

historic use and occupancy and the value of added improvements. One of 
the parcels of public land has been fenced in with the private land for 
many years and used for livestock grazing and hay production. The 
second parcel of public land has been used for many years as a homesite 
for hired help, storage area for equipment, and contains a root cellar 
and storage shed. Failure or refusal by Wayne and Melodie Baker to 
submit the required fair market appraisal amount within 180 days of the 
sale of the land will constitute a waiver of this preference 
consideration and this land may be offered for sale on a competitive or 
modified competitive basis.
