Cecil County, Maryland
Pasture here rented for $83.50 an acre in 2023. That's the 83rd percentile among the 9 Maryland counties reporting that year, and the highest 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 2023, this county's most recent published year.
Across Maryland's counties, the middle half of county averages in 2026 runs $36 to $60.75 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 2016, this county's rate has risen 11 percent: $75 then, $83.50 in 2023.
