(SPRINGFIELD) The USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) has this week started conducting the annual Cash Rents and Leases survey, which provides the basis for estimates of the current year’s cash rents paid for irrigated cropland, non-irrigated cropland, and permanent pasture. Over 241,000 survey recipients across the United States, including 8,903 in Illinois, have been selected to complete the survey, which can be completed by mail, phone, or online at agcounts.usda.gov. The deadline to respond is February 20th. The NASS will publish the state-and county-level data in August.
