Iowa
Across the 88 Iowa counties NASS published directly for 2026, the median pasture rent was $65.25 an acre. The spread ran $41 in Hamilton County to $91 in Pottawattamie — which is the point: a state average tells you almost nothing about your own fence line. Find your county below; an entry marked with an older year is that county's most recent published figure, not a 2026 number.
