New Mexico → Guadalupe
Guadalupe County, New Mexico
Pasture here rented for $3.50 an acre in 2026, $0.50 above the New Mexico median of $3. That's the 59th percentile among the 16 New Mexico counties reporting that year, and the 2nd percentile nationally.
Across New Mexico's counties, the middle half of county averages in 2026 runs $2.03 to $4.45 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 risen 52 percent: $2.30 then, $3.50 in 2026. A lease left alone over that stretch has been repricing itself by default.
