Henderson County cash rent
Henderson County Illinois cash rent is often compared to the county USDA average for non-irrigated ground ($292/acre in 2026, $293 in 2025). Henderson sits west and river-adjacent — use live Bureau and peer west-cluster pages for neighbor context, not as a substitute bid. FarmRent’s estimator can also show a range from soil productivity (PI) when you enter your farm’s PI (west district). FarmRent does not publish a Henderson county-average PI — enter your farm’s PI. For planning year 2027, the cited outlook adjustment is −$4/acre (planning figure $288 after that adjustment). Your farm will not match the county average — open the estimator for Henderson rather than treating page copy as a bid.
FAQ
- What is Henderson County cash rent used for?
- Owners, heirs, and absentees use a Henderson County cash-rent benchmark to compare an old lease, a renewal ask, or a new conversation against a county-level planning range — useful near Oquawka and across west river-adjacent Illinois. Farmers use the same page to see how a farm sits next to the local conversation. It is for planning and comparison — not a bid or a signed lease.
- Why won’t my farm match the county average?
- A county USDA average blends many soils, lease terms, and lease situations. Your farm’s soil productivity (PI), location, and terms can land above or below that figure. Use the county number as context; enter your farm’s PI in the live estimator. FarmRent does not publish a Henderson county-average PI — enter your farm’s PI.
- How do I estimate Henderson rent for 2027?
- Open Estimate cash rent. The tool defaults to planning year 2027. Add your farm’s soil productivity (PI) when you know it. The cited outlook adjustment for 2027 is −$4/acre (ISPFMRA Aug 2026 mid-year −$3…−$5 midpoint).
- What did USDA publish for Henderson recently?
- USDA county average (non-irrigated Henderson): $293/acre (2025) and $292/acre (2026). After the cited −$4/acre outlook adjustment for 2027: $288. Optional labeled example only: if your farm’s soil productivity (PI) is 130 (west), ≈$325 @2025/26 → ≈$321 @2027 — not a county average.
- Does FarmRent publish a Henderson average PI?
- No. FarmRent does not publish a Henderson county-average soil productivity (PI). Enter your farm’s PI in the estimator for a closer planning range.
- Is this a lease offer or matching marketplace?
- No. FarmRent is a planning estimate tool. Matching is interest only — not a listings board.
- Is the county average the most my farm can rent for?
- No. A county average blends many farms. Tenants often pay more than that figure for better soils, drainage, or location — and sometimes less for weaker ground. Use the estimate as planning context, then confirm locally. It is not a bid or a lease.
