Method
Values copied from USDA NASS files as published (rents to the half dollar). A blank rent cell: NASS published no county figure for that kind of land in any year 2008–2026 (it pools such counties into "other (combined) counties", or did not survey the land type there). A blank 2022 cell: no 2022 figure for that kind of land in the county. A blank yield cell: no NASS county estimate for the crop in the last three survey years (an older estimate is not carried). A blank value or land-in-farms cell: the county's farms operate fewer than 5,000 acres, or NASS withheld the acres.
