Sabine County, Louisiana
Pasture here rented for $14.50 an acre in 2026, $11.75 below the Louisiana median of $26.25. That's the 11th percentile among the 42 Louisiana counties reporting that year, and the 24th percentile nationally.
Put that in lease terms. On a quarter section of 160 acres, the gap between this county and the state median is $1,880 a year. A difference that looks small per acre is large at that scale.
Across Louisiana's counties, the middle half of county averages in 2026 runs $19.75 to $33.75 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 3 percent: $15 then, $14.50 in 2026.
