Non-irrigated cash rent in Fannin County runs $37 per acre in 2026, up 76.2 percent from 2016. Irrigated rent stands at $72 per acre, but irrigation covers only 4 percent of harvested cropland, so most of the county rents and farms dry. Crop insurance history shows excess moisture and flood as the largest cause of indemnities, at 65 percent of $98.0 million paid out over 1989-2025, while heat and drought's share of indemnities has moved down across 1989-1999, 2000-2009, 2010-2019, and 2020-2025. The July average nightly low has moved from 72.7 F (1991-2020 normal) to 74.1 F (2017-2026), with a warming trend since 1976 of 0.56 F per decade. Census land value reached $3,952 per acre in 2022, up 37.6 percent from 2017.
