Monroe County, Ohio
Pasture here rented for $22 an acre in 2026, $9.50 below the Ohio median of $31.50. That's the 33rd percentile among the 26 Ohio counties reporting that year, and the 44th percentile nationally.
Put that in lease terms. On a quarter section of 160 acres, the gap between this county and the state median is $1,520 a year. A difference that looks small per acre is large at that scale.
Across Ohio's counties, the middle half of county averages in 2026 runs $19.50 to $45.62 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: $22 then, $22 in 2026.
