Most of Clark County's cropland is irrigated, but the loss ratio on crop insurance has run well above breakeven since 1989, and it's been worse lately. Claims paid out $1.72 for every dollar in premium over the ten years 2016-2025. Freeze and frost is the largest cause, taking 49 percent of all indemnities. Heat and drought claims were 7 percent in 1989-1999, then rose to 21 percent in 2000-2009 before falling back to 3 percent in 2020-2025.

Land value
The census value is this county's, from 2022. The survey figures are the Idaho 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
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.
Drought and weather
Weeks per year, U.S. Drought Monitor, with half the county or more in D2 (severe) drought or worse.
