U.S. Drought Monitor weekly maps, 2000 to 2026 (40 maps this year)

As of Oct 16, cash rent in Calhoun County runs $54 an acre for 2024, down 12.3% from $61 in 2014. The census value of land and buildings went the other way, climbing 109.0% from $2,154 in 2017 to $4,502 in 2022.

Bids are posted elevator prices within 50 miles of the county middle, or of your own field or saved place in this county when this device has one (each row says which), best and nearest, never a buyer's name. Not a contract; call before you haul. Livestock lines show where the 2022 Census counts 1,000 head or more: milk for milk cows, feeder cattle for beef cows, live cattle for cattle on feed, hogs for hogs, hay for all cattle.

201920241.322.121.590.690.701.710.431.00: claims equal premium

Claims paid divided by total premium (the farmer share plus the federal subsidy), each closed crop year since 2019 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.
