Livingston County cash rent
USDA has no published county average for non-irrigated Livingston County cash rent in the 2025 and 2026 releases. Statewide Illinois averages ($261 in 2026, $264 in 2025) are context only — not a Livingston figure. For a farm-level planning estimate, open the FarmRent estimator for Livingston and enter your farm’s soil productivity (PI) (Bulletin 811 optimum PI, east district). 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 Livingston County cash rent?
- No. USDA has no published county average for non-irrigated Livingston County cash rent for 2025 or 2026. We will not invent a Livingston 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) (Bulletin 811 optimum 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 Livingston rent?
- No. Statewide Illinois averages — $261 (2026) / $264 (2025) / $269 (2024) (farmdoc Sep 15, 2026) — are statewide context only. They are not a Livingston 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.
