Jefferson County, Kentucky
Pasture here rented for $22 an acre in 2013. That's the 31st percentile among the 75 Kentucky counties reporting that year, and the 62nd percentile nationally.
NASS has no 2026 pasture cash rent result for this county (suppressed or left out of the survey that year). The rate shown is from 2013, this county's most recent published year.
Across Kentucky's counties, the middle half of county averages in 2026 runs $30.75 to $46.12 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 2011, this county's rate has fallen 25 percent: $29.50 then, $22 in 2013.
