Pulaski County cash rent
USDA NASS reports county cash rent for non-irrigated cropland as a county average, refreshed on the annual USDA cycle. The table shows every year NASS reported for Pulaski County, with the Indiana statewide average included as a clearly labeled context row (a state average is never a substitute for the county figure, and neither is a substitute for a parcel-level read).
| Year | Cash rent | Data level |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | USD 224/ac | Pulaski County (NASS) |
| 2024 | USD 226/ac | Pulaski County (NASS) |
| 2023 | USD 229/ac | Pulaski County (NASS) |
| 2022 | USD 215/ac | Pulaski County (NASS) |
| 2025 | USD 225/ac | Indiana statewide average (context) |
County averages for non-irrigated cropland, not medians. The Indiana statewide average row is labeled as state-level and is not a Pulaski County figure.
What Pulaski County grows
Ranked by harvested acres in the latest USDA NASS county survey, here are the field crops NASS separately reports for Pulaski County. NASS suppresses some county crops, so this is the reported field-crop picture, not the county's entire cropland. Horticulture and specialty crops NASS reports separately are not included.
| Crop | Harvested acres | Survey year |
|---|---|---|
| Corn | 96,000 | 2024 |
| Soybeans | 77,400 | 2024 |
Reported field crops ranked by most-recent NASS harvested acres. Ranked by acreage, not value. NASS can report different survey years for different crops, so each crop carries its own year.
Conservation (CRP) in Pulaski County
Indiana's USDA FSA general CRP signup rental rates run about USD 107/ac to USD 179/ac per acre per year (USD 143/ac midpoint). Those are the state planning band, not what a given Pulaski County parcel will be offered: the binding rate at enrollment is the county soil rental rate FSA sets from the soils on your specific acres. See the CRP payment rates guide for the full state table and how the county rate is derived, and how CRP works for eligibility.
Energy interest in Pulaski County
Pulaski County shows 10 active or pending electric-interconnection requests in the LBNL Queued Up dataset (2026 edition, queue data through December 2025), predominantly solar. A queue request is an early-stage filing, not a built or contracted project, and most queued capacity never reaches operation, so treat it as a signal of developer interest in the area rather than a forecast. Scout weighs transmission distance and the local queue when it models whether a solar lease is realistic for a specific parcel.
Pulaski County zoning does not permit commercial wind in any zoning district, so a utility-scale wind lease is not an option here regardless of queue activity (Purdue Center for Regional Development and Indiana Office of Energy Development, December 2022; Indiana Code 8-1-41). Solar and other uses are governed separately; verify the current county and township ordinance before relying on any lease posture.
