Washington County, New York
Pasture here rented for $20 an acre in 2025. That's the 42nd percentile among the 12 New York counties reporting that year, and the 42nd percentile 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 2025, this county's most recent published year.
Across New York's counties, the middle half of county averages in 2026 runs $17.75 to $35.25 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 risen 48 percent: $13.50 then, $20 in 2025. A lease left alone over that stretch has been repricing itself by default.
