Tippecanoe County, Indiana
Pasture here rented for $45 an acre in 2026, $11 below the Indiana median of $56. That's the 19th percentile among the 34 Indiana counties reporting that year, and the 80th percentile nationally.
Put that in lease terms. On a quarter section of 160 acres, the gap between this county and the state median is $1,760 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 2009, this county's rate has risen 8 percent: $41.50 then, $45 in 2026.
