    Texas: Cash Rent Up $8 for Irrigated Crop Land

    The 2016 NASS results of their Cash Rent surveys have been released. The results are obtained by a survey of farmers conducted by the United States Department of Agricultural National Agricultural Statistics Service.

    Every year, NASS collects cash rent data by state for irrigated cropland, non-irrigated cropland, and pastureland.  In even numbered years, they break this data down by county.  The county-level reports should be out in September.  For now, we have the national and state-by-state results.

    Nationwide, cash rental rates have dropped in the last year.  Here are the results of the cash rent survey:

    • Pastureland: $13/acre (down $1.00 from 2015)
    • Non-irrigated cropland: $125/acre (down $8.00 from 2015)
    • Irrigated cropland: $206/acre (down $3.00 from 2015)

    For Texas, the results were mixed with an increase in irrigated cropland rates, but decreases for dryland cropland and pasture.  The survey results are as follows:

    • Pastureland:  $6.80/acre (down $0.70 from 2015)
    • Non-irrigated cropland:  $27.00 (down $2.00 from 2015)
    • Irrigated cropland:  $90.00 (up $8.00 from 2015)

    Remember, I always encourage everyone to get all lease agreements in writing.  I recently co-authored the Ranchers’ Agricultural Leasing Handbook that offers a wealth of information regarding law surrounding leases, landowner liability, and offers checklists and sample language on grazing/pasture, hunting, and livestock leases.

    For cropland leases, I recommend the resources at Ag Lease 101.

    Lastly, if you are interested in more information on leasing, join Shannon Ferrell and I on Wednesday at 12 EST for our free webinar on Agricultural Leases.  For more information, click here.
