Across Virginia's counties, the middle half of county averages in 2026 runs $21.50 to $30 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 3 percent: $17 then, $17.50 in 2023.
