Josephine County, Oregon
Pasture here rented for $104 an acre in 2025. That's the 95th percentile among the 28 Oregon counties reporting that year, and the highest nationally.
NASS has no 2026 pasture cash rent result for this county (suppressed or not surveyed that year). Showing this county's most recent available year (2025) instead — not a 2026 figure.
Across Oregon's counties, the middle half of county averages in 2026 runs $10 to $48 an acre. Individual leases spread wider than county averages do — grass, water, fencing, and term length all move the number — but an offer far outside this band should come with a reason the other side can name out loud.
Since 2009, this county's rate has risen 215 percent: $33 then, $104 in 2025. A lease that hasn't been revisited over that stretch has been repricing itself by default — just not on paper.
