Harrison 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 Harrison County, with the Ohio 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 44/ac | Harrison County (NASS) |
| 2024 | USD 44/ac | Harrison County (NASS) |
| 2023 | USD 46/ac | Harrison County (NASS) |
| 2022 | USD 47/ac | Harrison County (NASS) |
| 2025 | USD 184/ac | Ohio statewide average (context) |
County averages for non-irrigated cropland, not medians. The Ohio statewide average row is labeled as state-level and is not a Harrison County figure.
What Harrison County grows
Ranked by harvested acres in the latest USDA NASS county survey, here are the field crops NASS separately reports for Harrison 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 | 4,300 | 2025 |
| Soybeans | 3,470 | 2025 |
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 Harrison County
Ohio's USDA FSA general CRP signup rental rates run about USD 92/ac to USD 154/ac per acre per year (USD 123/ac midpoint). Those are the state planning band, not what a given Harrison 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 Harrison County
Harrison County shows 5 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 or wind lease is realistic for a specific parcel.
