Washington County, Arkansas
Pasture here rented for $31 an acre in 2026, $9 above the Arkansas median of $22. That's the 86th percentile among the 55 Arkansas counties reporting that year, and the 63rd percentile nationally.
Put that in lease terms. On a quarter section of 160 acres, the gap between this county and the state median is $1,440 a year. A difference that looks small per acre is large at that scale.
Across Arkansas's counties, the middle half of county averages in 2026 runs $18.25 to $27.50 an acre. Individual leases spread wider than county averages do, because grass, water, fencing and term length all move the price. An offer far outside this band should come with a reason the other side can say out loud.
Since 2008, this county's rate has fallen 0 percent: $31 then, $31 in 2026.
