Source: USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Cash Rents Survey, retrieved through the Quick Stats database. Figures are cash rent in dollars per acre.
NASS publishes state estimates in early August and county estimates in late August.
County estimates on this page run from 2016 to 2026. NASS released no Texas county estimates for 2018.
NASS withholds a county figure when too few operators report or when publishing it would disclose an individual operation. Those years show as a dash in the history table.
CV is the coefficient of variation NASS reports with each estimate. Lower means a more precise estimate.
Regional medians and percentiles cover the 67 counties in the NASS Northern High Plains, Southern High Plains, Northern Low Plains and Southern Low Plains districts, counting only counties with a published figure for that land type and year. The percentile is the share of those counties below Motley County, with ties counted as half.
Texas average is the NASS state-level estimate for the same land type and year.
Neighboring counties are those that share a border, from the U.S. Census Bureau county adjacency file. Counties that touch only at a corner are not counted. The neighbor comparison uses the same land type as the headline, and the neighbor average counts only neighbors with a published figure.
