Huron 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 Huron 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | USD 187/ac | Huron County (NASS) |
| 2025 | USD 190/ac | Huron County (NASS) |
| 2023 | USD 168/ac | Huron County (NASS) |
| 2022 | USD 163/ac | Huron County (NASS) |
| 2026 | USD 188/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 Huron County figure.
What Huron County grows
Ranked by harvested acres in the latest USDA NASS county survey, here are the field crops NASS separately reports for Huron 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Soybeans | 111,800 | 2025 |
| Corn | 55,900 | 2025 |
| Wheat | 18,300 | 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.

Energy interest in Huron County
Huron County shows 2 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.
