Minnesota
Across the 50 Minnesota counties NASS published directly for 2026, the median pasture rent was $39 an acre. The spread ran $13 in Carlton County to $70 in Jackson — 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.
