Irrigation is what runs this county. Fifty-six percent of the harvested cropland is irrigated, and irrigated rent at $274 per acre was 2.54 times the non-irrigated rent of $108 in 2026. All the irrigation water comes from groundwater. Corn yields have been steady at a median of 206.1 bushels per acre from 2008 to 2024, with a gain of 1 bushel per acre a year. The loss ratio on crop insurance has stayed above 1, paying out $1.27 per premium dollar over the ten crop years 2016-2025. Heat and drought made up 36 percent of indemnities in 2020-2025, down from 54 percent in 2000-2009.

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 14-yr trend. The calculator below starts from that trend and lets you put in your own yield and price.
Land value
The census value is this county's, from 2022. The survey figures are the Georgia 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.
Corn yield
Bushels per acre, USDA NASS county yields, all practices. The dashed line is the median of the published years.
Crop insurance record
Claims paid divided by total premium (the farmer share plus the federal subsidy), each closed crop year since 1989. Above the dashed line, the county's insurance book paid out more than it took in. 2026, still open, is left out.
