Kentucky
Across the 68 Kentucky counties NASS published directly for 2026, the median pasture rent was $38.25 an acre. The spread ran $13.50 in Pendleton County to $59.50 in Barren — 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.
