Lake County, Oregon
Pasture here rented for $15 an acre in 2026, $6 below the Oregon median of $21. That's the 46th percentile among the 25 Oregon counties reporting that year, and the 25th percentile nationally.
Put that in lease terms. On a quarter section of 160 acres, the gap between this county and the state median is $960 a year. A difference that looks small per acre is large at that scale.
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, 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 2010, this county's rate has fallen 0 percent: $15 then, $15 in 2026.
