What the numbers say

Churchill County's rent is 1.2 times the Nevada average and 0.8 times the US average.
It is the 2nd highest of the 5 Nevada counties NASS published for 2026.
Since 2017 it has risen 29.2%, from $154 to $199 an acre.
Gaps are years with no separate Churchill figure: NASS ran no county survey in 2018, and in 2025 it combined Churchill into "other counties". Nothing is filled in.

What this measures

NASS asks farm operators what they pay in cash rent per acre, separately for irrigated cropland, non-irrigated cropland and pasture. State figures come out at the end of July; county figures follow in August. When too few farms in a county answer, NASS combines that county with others and publishes one "other counties" figure, so some counties have no figure of their own.
