The five highest reported Florida counties in 2026 are Santa Rosa (USD 107/ac), Escambia (USD 96/ac), Hamilton (USD 65/ac), Jackson (USD 58/ac), Levy (USD 58/ac).

The five lowest reported counties are Madison (USD 22/ac), Charlotte (USD 27/ac), Marion (USD 30/ac), Columbia (USD 35/ac), Manatee (USD 41/ac), which shows why a statewide average is a weak substitute for county data.

From county average to parcel read

A county average tells you what surveyed non-irrigated cropland rented for in that county. It does not see whether your acres are high-PI prairie soil, a wet corner, a small irregular field, or ground with better access and drainage than the county average.

Scout reads the parcel's SSURGO soil profile, starts from the county NASS rent when it exists, and applies AgriTerra's PI-based soil band around that benchmark. If the county is unavailable, Scout uses the state figure and labels the downgrade.

Your parcel

Run your own parcel to see the gap. Every Florida parcel reads differently on soil, drainage, and rotation.

Use the land's address. If it has no street address, open Scout to find or draw the parcel. No account needed; Scout asks for an email once, before it shows the analysis.

Every parcel-scale figure is a Scout free read; see how we get our numbers. The state average anchor is the USDA NASS 2026 survey for non-irrigated cropland.

Check the parcel, not just the county.

Start with the Florida county benchmark, then let Scout read the parcel's soils, acreage, flood, wetlands, CRP fit, and energy context.
