Our arithmetic from the two figuresWhat the average misses
A state or county average can't tell you what your farm should rent for. Two farms a mile apart can differ by $50 an acre or more because of soils, drainage, flooding and how the crop has actually done. A FairRent report looks at your own ground: the soils acre by acre, nine years of satellite images of your crop or pasture compared with nearby fields, flood risk, and what a tenant can afford at next year's prices.

Kansas cash rent trend
Statewide non-irrigated cropland: 2021: $58, 2022: $62, 2023: $62, 2024: $65, 2025: $64, 2026: $66. Irrigated cropland: $172 (2026). Pasture: $24 an acre (2026).
Lease notice rule in Kansas
Written notice at least 30 days before March 1, naming March 1 as the end date. A notice that misses either requirement doesn't work and the lease continues.
Source: K.S.A. 58-2506. General information, not legal advice. A written lease with set dates avoids most of this.
Cash rent by county
