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 uses this year's rent over the 15-yr trend. The calculator below starts from that trend and lets you put in your own yield and price.
