Webster County, Mississippi
Pasture here rented for $13 an acre in 2026, $8 below the Mississippi median of $21. That's the 3rd percentile among the 53 Mississippi counties reporting that year, and the 20th percentile nationally.
Put that in lease terms. On a quarter section of 160 acres, the gap between this county and the state median is $1,280 a year. A difference that looks small per acre is large at that scale.
Across Mississippi's counties, the middle half of county averages in 2026 runs $17 to $25 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 0 percent: $13 then, $13 in 2026.
