About these numbersSources, dates and how these figures are built

Cash rent

USDA NASS county cash rents survey, released Aug 21, 2026. NASS withholds a county's figure when too few farms answer. Public domain.

Land value

USDA NASS 2022 Census of Agriculture, released Feb 13, 2024. Public domain.

Satellite crop map

USDA NASS Cropland Data Layer 2025, a satellite land-cover map, read at each farm parcel's map point (the most common class of the 3 by 3 cells around it); parcels whose land type on the county roll is agricultural; read Oct 18, 2026. Shares are of those parcels' acres, each parcel counted whole under the class at its center, so they are not planted acres: USDA's planted and harvested acreage is the NASS county estimate (the yields table where it prints). Public domain.
