Dollars per acre, as of January 1, 2026. n/p = not published by USDA (too few reports to keep farms private). Tap a column to sort.
USDA asks farmers and landowners every June what their land is worth. These are the state averages as of January 1, for land and buildings ("all farm"), cropland and pasture.
Your county can be far above or below the state average, depending on soil, drainage and irrigation. Use it to see the direction land is moving in your state, not to price a specific farm.
USDA publishes cash rents by county each fall. Ask your county extension office or see USDA NASS for your county's rent.
