The total value of America's farmland and buildings
USDA NASS land values and cash rents, through 2026.
Our take written by Farming Land Sale
NASS's total value of U.S. farmland and buildings is $3,658,117 million in 2025, derived by multiplying the farm real estate value per acre by the land in farms. Texas's row shows $371,250 million, 10.1% of the U.S. total by our calculation, and Iowa's shows $292,721 million.
The table holds each state's 2020 and 2025 totals with our change; the U.S. figure for 2020 is $2,693,867 million. Alaska and Hawaii are outside the land value series, so the U.S. total excludes them.
Our reading of the USDA figures on this page. It adds no facts of its own and isn't advice about any parcel, lease or sale.
Check before you rely on a figure: the NASS input values are reproduced as NASS prints them in the field excerpts, with each record's LOAD_TIME (when NASS inserted it into Quick Stats); calculated figures and unit conversions are labeled "ours". Verify any figure in NASS Quick Stats or the NASS report before acting on it.

Method note How these figures are built
Data dates: the 2026 land values and 2026 state, region and U.S. cash rents carry LOAD_TIME 2026-07-31 (Released July 31, 2026, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS)
source); the 2026 county cash rents carry LOAD_TIME 2026-08-21. Records for earlier years have their own LOAD_TIME, shown in their field excerpts; LOAD_TIME is when NASS inserted the record into Quick Stats, not the year the figure describes. Verify any figure in NASS Quick Stats or the NASS report before you rely on it.
The NASS inputs are VALUE fields from the Quick Stats file qs.economics_20261017.txt.gz, shown as NASS prints them, in dollars per acre unless a column says otherwise; calculated figures and unit conversions (such as totals shown in millions) are labeled as ours. Our checker re-read all 23,311 records in NASS's current file on October 19 and matched the state, region and U.S. land values to the tables of the Land Values 2026 Summary. Percent changes, ratios, shares and counts are our calculations, labeled "ours". Nothing is adjusted for inflation. Full method →
