What the numbers say
- In 2025, Rich County's rent was the same as the Utah average and 0.2 times the US average.
- It is the 5th highest of the 15 Utah counties NASS published for 2025.
- From 2020 to 2025 it rose 86.5%, from $18.50 to $34.50 an acre.
- Gaps are years with no separate Rich figure: NASS ran no county survey in 2018, and in 2016, 2017, 2019, 2022, 2024 and 2026 it combined Rich 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.
