Delaware County, Indiana
Pasture here rented for $77 an acre in 2026, $21 above the Indiana median of $56. That's the 81st percentile among the 34 Indiana counties reporting that year, and the 98th percentile nationally.
Put that in lease terms. On a quarter section of 160 acres, the gap between this county and the state median is $3,360 a year. A difference that looks small per acre is large at that scale.
Across Indiana's counties, the middle half of county averages in 2026 runs $47 to $73.50 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 2025, this county's rate has fallen 28 percent: $107 then, $77 in 2026.
