Counties NASS published only in 2025 show a dash for 2026; their pages carry the 2025 figure.
The average isn't your ceiling
Run your own yield, price and costs to see the most rent a crop budget can carry before land pushes the farm under its target return.
The fight over the ground
Nevada Goes to Court Over Colorado River Water
As Western drought drags on, Nevada breaks ranks to sue over Colorado River allocation, raising stakes in the fight for farm and city survival.
Federal Lands in Play: Grazing Access Becomes a Flashpoint
As ranchers face tighter margins and consolidation pressure, competition for federal grazing permits is reshaping who can survive on the land—and who gets bought out.
Red-Dye Diesel Comes to the Road, but Tax Confusion Lingers
Trump's executive order opens on-road use of red-dye diesel for farmers, but tax exemptions remain murky. Experts warn the relief may not go as far as promised.
Where these numbers come from
- Every rent on these pages is a published estimate from the USDA NASS Cash Rents Survey: the average cash rent paid per acre for non-irrigated cropland, irrigated cropland and pasture. We pull the 2024–2026 county and state series straight from Quick Stats.
- NASS skips counties with too few survey reports, or withholds them to protect respondents, and lumps them into an "other counties" total. Those counties get no page here, and missing years show as a dash. We do not estimate, average or interpolate around the gaps.
- The coefficient of variation (CV) is NASS's measure of sampling precision. Lower is tighter; the higher the CV, the wider the real range around the county figure.
- "Bordering counties" are the ones that share a boundary under the Census Bureau county adjacency file, including across state lines.
- An average rent is a benchmark, not a fair price for a specific field. Soil, drainage, fertility, improvements and lease terms all move the number.
