MIDDLE COUNTY EDGED UP
The median Florida county paid $43.50 an acre for non-irrigated cropland in 2026, +2.6% vs 2025 across the same 16 counties. Highest county: Santa Rosa at $107. Every county is in the table below.
That is the middle county on this page, not USDA NASS’s statewide average, which is not on this page yet.
These are the 2026 county rents, the newest NASS has put out (released Aug 21, 2026). NASS says county rents come out in late August every year, and they have every year since 2019; the 2027 date is not on its calendar yet.

Every published county, 2026

Tap a column heading to sort. Greyed values are the county’s most recent published year where 2026 wasn’t published. Columns cover non-irrigated cropland, irrigated cropland, permanent pasture; state stats above use non-irrigated cropland, the rent this site means by “rent”. Each county name opens its Farmland Atlas record (land value, yield, insurance and drought). Corn trend is the county’s 14-yr trend yield (projected 2026) from NASS county estimates, fitted on the same practice as the rent: the figure the Atlas county page divides rent by for rent per bushel, and the one its rent share calculator starts from.

Corn trend: mixed: NASS publishes only an all-practice corn yield for the county, and the county also irrigates, so that yield is withheld rather than set beside dryland rent; n/a: too few years of county yield on record.

What this can’t tell you. These are county means from a voluntary USDA survey. Rents vary widely inside a county, driven by soil, drainage, field size and how badly a neighbor wants the ground. Year-over-year stats above compare only counties published in both years, so a county dropping out of the survey can’t fake a trend.

Questions

What is the average cash rent per acre in Florida for 2026?

The middle Florida county pays $43.50 per acre for non-irrigated cropland: half of the 21 counties with a published 2026 USDA NASS rate are above it and half below. NASS also puts out its own statewide average, a separate figure that is not shown here. Rents vary widely by county: highest Santa Rosa ($107), Escambia ($95.50), Hamilton ($65); lowest Madison ($22), Charlotte ($26.50), Marion ($30). The county mean is a survey reference point, not a rate card.

How much does pasture rent for per acre in Florida?

The median USDA NASS county cash rent for permanent pasture in Florida is $21 per acre across the 29 counties with a published 2026 pasture rate. Highest Palm Beach ($58), Gilchrist ($49), Jackson ($43.50); lowest Osceola ($7.60), Citrus ($10), Martin ($10). Each county's pasture rate is in its own column in the county table below.

How much did Florida cash rent change from 2025 to 2026?

Comparing the same 16 counties published in both years, the median non-irrigated cropland rent moved +2.6% year over year.

Why is my Florida county not listed?

USDA NASS publishes a county rate only where enough Cash Rents Survey responses came back (and the county has at least 20,000 acres of cropland plus pasture). If your county is missing, NASS did not publish a rate for it.

When is county cash rent data released?

USDA NASS releases county cash rent estimates each August for the current crop year. This page rebuilds automatically when new data lands.
