Moultrie County cash rent
Moultrie County Illinois cash rent is often compared to the county USDA average for non-irrigated ground ($337/acre in 2026, $350 in 2025) — among the higher published county figures in east / southeast Illinois. FarmRent’s estimator can also show a range from soil productivity (PI) when you enter your farm’s PI (east / southeast district). FarmRent does not publish a Moultrie county-average PI — enter your farm’s PI. For planning year 2027, the cited outlook adjustment is −$4/acre (planning figure $333 after that adjustment). Your farm will not match the county average — open the estimator for Moultrie rather than treating page copy as a bid.
