What the numbers say

Apache County's rent is 1.3 times the Arizona average and 0.2 times the US average.
It is the 2nd highest of the 5 Arizona counties NASS published for 2026.
Since 2019 it has risen 270.0%, from $1 to $3.70 an acre.
Gaps are years with no separate Apache figure: NASS ran no county survey in 2018, and in 2017 it combined Apache 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.
