- Arkansas: no survey. UAEX FSA-21 machinery cost estimates exist but aren't custom rates, so they aren't shown as rates.
- Kentucky: the 2024 UK publication is derived from other states' surveys, so it isn't shown as Kentucky survey data.
- Alabama, Louisiana, South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida (row crops), Virginia: no current statewide survey found.
- Minnesota, Illinois: no state survey. South Dakota: survey in progress.
