Here’s the average cash rent per county for Illinois for anyone curious!

AVERAGE ILLINOIS CASH RENTS AND SOIL PRODUCTIVITY IN 2026

While the relationship between soil productivity, location, and average cash rents in Illinois is statistically strong, it remains imperfect. The R2 measure for the regression model used to define the formula is 0.82, suggesting that 82% of the variation observed in average county cash rents is explained by the average soil productivity and location of the county. That leaves 18% of the variation in average rents that is explained by other factors. There are several reasons why cash rents vary from one parcel to another, including that farms with excellent drainage will typically receive higher cash rents than those with drainage issues and that farms that have high-risk areas will likely receive lower rents, among many others. The desires of the landowner and the services offered by the farmer also play a role in determining the cash rent level.

Big buck down last night on September 20th & the start to an epic chase for an Illinois giant.

On tonight's video, Brandon Quandt breaks down a new spot where he's hoping to get an opportunity at the buck of a lifetime. One he mulled even talking about, it's sure to be an exciting chase no matter the result.

In Iowa, Joshua Sparks and Casey Maxted make a last minute move to hunt a big 8 with Casey's son Brady. His first ever deer hunt was one for the books and the memory made is one we will talk about for a long time!

Good luck to everyone out there whether it's youth in Iowa or if you're in a state where hunting season is wide open. This front is delivering in big ways.
