Oregon
Across the 25 Oregon counties NASS published directly for 2026, the median pasture rent was $21 an acre. The spread ran $4 in Wheeler County to $128 in Tillamook — 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.
