Summit 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 Summit 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).

|---|---|---|
| 2025 | USD 89/ac | Summit County (NASS) |
| 2024 | USD 76/ac | Summit County (NASS) |

County averages for non-irrigated cropland, not medians. The Ohio statewide average row is labeled as state-level and is not a Summit County figure.
What Summit County grows
USDA NASS does not separately report county-level crop acreage for Summit County in this dataset, so there is no county crop table to show here rather than a statewide figure standing in for it. Statewide, Ohio's cropland runs mostly on soybeans and corn grown in rotation. See what crops grow in Ohio for the county leaders and the rotation behind them.
Conservation (CRP) in Summit 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 Summit 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.
