Soils & agricultural detail
What the soil survey and published agricultural data say about this ground.
- Soil productivity index
- 93.3
- County cash rent
- $228/acre
- Recent cropping
- Corn / Soybeans rotation
Illinois PI, University of Illinois Bulletin 810 (average management) — the basis Illinois farmland is assessed on, weighted across 29.38 acres.
Shelby County average for non-irrigated cropland, 2025. An area average, not a lease offer. Uses the NASS API but is not endorsed or certified by NASS.
From the USDA Cropland Data Layer, a satellite classification roughly 75% accurate on crop type. Indicative of the rotation, not a record of what was planted.
NAIP is flown leaf-on every ~2-3 years — a single-date snapshot, not a current or continuous image.
Proximity to a transmission line is NOT available interconnection capacity. Whether a solar/wind project can connect depends on the substation's spare capacity and the interconnection queue (often multi-year), which only a utility interconnection study resolves. This is a screening indicator for a lease/scouting conversation, not a feasibility or capacity determination. Line locations and voltages are HIFLD estimates and may be dated.
Soil data from the USDA-NRCS SSURGO database (Soil Data Access), for screening only. SSURGO is a generalized soil survey mapped at survey scale, not a site-specific geotechnical or engineering investigation — a licensed geotechnical engineer remains authoritative for foundation and septic design.
