What the numbers say
- In 2024, Gilliam County's rent was 0.4 times the Oregon average and 0.3 times the US average.
- It is the lowest of the 23 Oregon counties NASS published for 2024.
- From 2019 to 2024 it rose 70.0%, from $3 to $5.10 an acre.
- Gaps are years with no separate Gilliam figure: NASS ran no county survey in 2015 or 2018, and in 2016, 2017, 2020, 2025 and 2026 it combined Gilliam 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.
