What the numbers say

In 2024, Elko County's rent was 0.9 times the Nevada average and 0.6 times the US average.
It is the lowest of the 2 Nevada counties NASS published for 2024.
From 2019 to 2024 it rose 48.3%, from $6 to $8.90 an acre.
Gaps are years with no separate Elko figure: NASS ran no county survey in 2015 or 2018, in 2021, 2023, 2025 and 2026 it combined Elko into "other counties", and NASS had no figure available in 2016, 2017 and 2020. 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.
