Saint Landry County, Louisiana
Pasture here rented for $27 an acre in 2026, $0.75 above the Louisiana median of $26.25. That's the 51st percentile among the 42 Louisiana counties reporting that year, and the 54th percentile nationally.
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.
