Much of the cash rent data for making 2018 cash rental decisions is now available. Data include 1) 2017 county and state cash rents as reported by the National Agricultural Statistical Service (NASS) and 2) actual 2017 and projected 2018 cash rents on professionally managed farmland as reported by the Illinois Society of Professional Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers (ISPFMRA). These data are reported in this article. For 2018, cash rents likely will continue to decline as farmers are projected to have negative returns when cash rents are at average levels.
