1 2011 NASS Cropland and Pastureland Rental Rates This winter USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service (NASS) released cash rental rates for irrigated and non-irrigated cropland and pastureland for Virginia counties and cities. Listed below are: Table 1 listing of 2011 rental rates by jurisdiction for irrigated and nonirrigated cropland and pastureland Table 2 listing of counties and cities in each NASS crop reporting district NASS rental rates are annual values in $/acre per year summarized from NASS surveys for the crop year 2011, and the data can be found at this NASS site: If there are sufficient number of responses to meet NASS nondisclosure requirements for a jurisdiction then that value is published. For example, in Table 1 the specific rental rate for cropland in Accomack is $65.5 per acre. When there are not enough responses in a jurisdiction to meet NASS nondisclosure requirements, then all the data for the non-disclosed jurisdictions within a crop reporting district are summarized and published as a Combined Counties value. For example, in Table 1 the rental rate for cropland in Bland is $20.5 per acre, the combined value for Southwestern District counties. For jurisdictions in the Eastern and Southeastern Crop Reporting Districts (Table 2), few individual counties had sufficient responses to provide county-level pastureland values; thus, the district average is published. For example, the rental rate for pastureland in Accomack is $30.5 per acre (the average for the Eastern District). A note of caution: Combined Counties rental rates cut across jurisdictional lines and may not reflect all local market conditions. The level of reporting for irrigated cropland is limited. Only 9 counties reported rates. Footnote 5, Table 1, lists the Combined County averages for the counties not meeting the nondisclosure requirements.
