Nebraska Revised Statutes Chapter 72. Public Lands, Buildings, and Funds § 72-232. School lands;  rules and regulations;  limitation;  soil conservation program

The Board of Educational Lands and Funds shall have authority to adopt such rules and regulations as it shall deem necessary in the leasing of school lands and to prescribe such terms and conditions of the lease, not inconsistent with sections 72-205, 72-232 to 72-235, 72-240.02 to 72-240.05, and 72-242, as it shall deem necessary to protect the interests of the state. The board shall adopt and enforce a soil conservation program. Failure of the lessee to utilize the land for the purpose for which the land was leased or to observe and carry out soil conservation requirements as provided in the rules and regulations of the board shall be cause for cancellation of the lease. No individual, partnership, limited liability company, or corporation shall be entitled to hold under lease a total of more than six hundred forty acres of state educational lands, whether acquired by direct lease or by assignment. Such limitation shall not apply when the land to be leased is bounded entirely on one side thereof by lands owned or operated by such applicant or assignee.
