Across Utah's counties, the middle half of county averages in 2026 runs $5.10 to $13 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 2008, this county's rate has risen 61 percent: $3.80 then, $6.10 in 2026. A lease left alone over that stretch has been repricing itself by default.
