Utah
Across the 17 Utah counties NASS published directly for 2026, the median pasture rent was $6.40 an acre. The spread ran $1.20 in Tooele County to $26.50 in Weber — 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.
