Crosby County, Texas
Pasture here rented for $4.70 an acre in 2026, $6.30 below the Texas median of $11. That's the 10th percentile among the 223 Texas counties reporting that year, and the 3rd percentile nationally.
Put that in lease terms. On a quarter section of 160 acres, the gap between this county and the state median is $1,008 a year. A difference that looks small per acre is large at that scale.
Across Texas's counties, the middle half of county averages in 2026 runs $7 to $14.50 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 4 percent: $4.50 then, $4.70 in 2026.
