Land Value Lookup turns public USDA data into something you can use in a minute. We show the average value of farm real estate, cropland and pasture for every state, the cash rent paid per acre in thousands of counties, and a set of calculators for people who buy, sell, lease and manage land and timber.
Where the numbers come from
Land values and cash rents come from the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) through its Quick Stats database. The USDA publishes land values every August and county cash rents every year. This site checks for new figures every day and updates itself when they appear.
How to read them
The figures are survey averages for a whole state or county. They describe the market as a whole. They are not an appraisal, and a particular parcel can be worth far more or far less because of soil, water, timber, road frontage, minerals, buildings and many other things. For a sale, a loan or a tax dispute, hire a licensed appraiser or talk to a local land broker.
