Cash rent
Dollars per acre, USDA NASS county survey. A break in a line is a year with no published survey.
Every published Alabama county rate, side by side: Alabama cash rent by county.
Share of gross is a past year, all observed: that year's rent, that year's county corn yield of the same practice and the state price received, USDA NASS. Rent per bushel is withheld here: it needs the county trend, and the trend is withheld (see the corn yield section). The calculator below takes your own yield and price.
Land value
The census value is this county's, from 2022. The survey figures are the Alabama average for 2026, from the USDA NASS Land Values report. NASS publishes that survey by state, not by county, so this page does not scale one into the other.
Programs and risk

Insuring pasture or hay? PRF rainfall insurance for pasture and hay in Bullock County: its grids, county values and record are on the county PRF page.
Crop insurance record
Claims paid divided by total premium (the farmer share plus the federal subsidy), each closed crop year since 1989 with at least $1,000,000 of premium; a year under that has no bar and no ratio. Above the dashed line, the county's insurance book paid out more than it took in. 2026, still open, is left out.
