Click a column to sort. Greyed values are the county’s most recent published year where 2025 wasn’t published. Columns cover non-irrigated cropland, irrigated cropland, permanent pasture; state stats above use non-irrigated cropland (the most-published type here). Corn trend is the AGSIST least-squares trend yield from NASS county estimates.

Honest limits. 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. Treat any county number as the start of a conversation, not a rate card.
Do something with it: see this county on the national rent map (with rent as a share of what the acre can actually gross) · put a number in a printable Maryland cash lease · check local basis vs normal before you commit to a rent that needs a price.
