Stands out against its own record

$33

USDA NASS Cash Rents Survey, 2026

As of Oct 16, McClain County cash rent sits at $33 an acre for 2026, tied for 29th highest of 74 in Oklahoma, against a state median of $31. That is down 4.4% from $34 in 2016, so rent has barely moved in ten years.

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.

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.
