Woodford County cash rent
Woodford County Illinois cash rent is often compared to the county USDA average for non-irrigated ground — $290/acre in 2025 (published USDA figure). The 2026 county average is not published for this county — do not invent a 2026 figure. Woodford sits around Eureka in central Illinois near Peoria and Tazewell — use the live Peoria, Tazewell, and Marshall pages and DeKalb and Piatt 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 (central). FarmRent does not publish a Woodford county-average PI — enter your farm’s PI. For planning year 2027, the cited outlook adjustment is −$4/acre (planning figure $286 after that adjustment). Your farm will not match the county average — open the estimator for Woodford rather than treating page copy as a bid.
FAQ
- What is Woodford County cash rent used for?

- Why won’t my farm match the county average?
