The agricultural income value of cropland shall be based on average rents over a three-year period for cropland under natural conditions. The agricultural income value of noncropland shall be based on average rents over a three-year period for noncropland under natural conditions. However, no arms-length rental agreements for irrigated land may be used to determine the annual cash rent pursuant to this section. The annual cash rent shall be capitalized at seven and three-fourths percent.
