What the numbers say
- Cache County's rent is 1.2 times the Utah average and 0.3 times the US average.
- It is the 4th highest of the 10 Utah counties NASS published for 2026.
- Since 2008 it has risen 54.2%, from $24 to $37 an acre.
- Gaps are years with no separate Cache figure: NASS ran no county survey in 2015 or 2018, and in 2024 it combined Cache 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.
