Bonner County, Idaho
Pasture here rented for $10.50 an acre in 2026, $6 below the Idaho median of $16.50. That's the 17th percentile among the 27 Idaho counties reporting that year, and the 14th percentile nationally.
Put that in lease terms. On a quarter section of 160 acres, the gap between this county and the state median is $960 a year. A difference that looks small per acre is large at that scale.
Across Idaho's counties, the middle half of county averages in 2026 runs $12 to $23.50 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 2009, this county's rate has fallen 0 percent: $10.50 then, $10.50 in 2026.
