Why trust the number

Built for Illinois landowners. Ranges draw on public research and county context — still planning only, not legal advice or a lease. Confirm locally before you sign. We do not invent a Henry County USDA cash-rent figure when none is published.

Henry County cash rent

USDA has no published county average for non-irrigated Henry County cash rent in the 2025 and 2026 releases. Statewide Illinois averages ($261 in 2026, $264 in 2025) are context only — not a Henry figure. Henry sits around Cambridge in northwest Illinois near Rock Island / Quad Cities fringe — use the live Rock Island, Knox, and Bureau pages and Mercer and Stark for neighbor context, not as a substitute bid. For a farm-level planning estimate, open the FarmRent estimator for Henry and enter your farm’s soil productivity (PI) (northwest). FarmRent does not publish a Henry county-average PI — enter your farm’s PI. Planning year 2027 applies a cited −$4/acre outlook adjustment on the soil-productivity path. Do not treat any page as a bid or lease quote.

FAQ

Does USDA publish Henry County cash rent?
No. USDA has no published county average for non-irrigated Henry County cash rent for 2025 or 2026. We will not invent a Henry county $/acre to fill that gap.
How do I still get a planning estimate?
Open Estimate cash rent and enter your farm’s soil productivity (PI). The estimator can still show an estimate from your farm’s PI even when a county USDA average is missing. Default planning year is 2027.
Can I use the statewide Illinois average as Henry rent?
No. Statewide Illinois averages — $261 (2026) / $264 (2025) / $269 (2024) (farmdoc Sep 15, 2026) — are statewide context only. They are not a Henry County substitute.
How does 2027 planning work?
The estimator defaults to planning year 2027. On the soil-productivity path, the cited outlook adjustment is −$4/acre (ISPFMRA Aug 2026 mid-year −$3…−$5 midpoint). That adjustment does not create a county USDA average where none exists.
Is this a 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.
