The five highest reported Florida counties in 2025 are Santa Rosa (USD 106/ac), Hamilton (USD 100/ac), Escambia (USD 99/ac), Jackson (USD 65/ac), Suwannee (USD 59/ac).

The five lowest reported counties are Bradford (USD 17/ac), Citrus (USD 21/ac), Marion (USD 26/ac), Pasco (USD 30/ac), Sumter (USD 32/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.

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.
