There is no rent-to-price column. The sale prices we hold for Indiana come from county ratio studies, which include very few farmland sales: the most in any county is 8 sales of 10 acres or more in three years, and a fair median needs 10.
NASS withholds a county’s figure when too few farms answered, and pools some counties together; those counties are left out (92 of Indiana’s counties have a figure).
