Five-year Texas trend

The 2026 state average is USD 36/ac, down USD 1/ac from 2025. The trend line below uses NASS state rows so it stays stable even when individual county suppression changes year to year.

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