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