Lewis County, West Virginia
Pasture here rented for $15 an acre in 2025. That's the 63rd percentile among the 27 West Virginia counties reporting that year, and the 28th percentile nationally.
NASS has no 2026 pasture cash rent result for this county (suppressed or left out of the survey that year). The rate shown is from 2025, this county's most recent published year.
Across West Virginia's counties, the middle half of county averages in 2026 runs $11 to $21 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 127 percent: $6.60 then, $15 in 2025. A lease left alone over that stretch has been repricing itself by default.
