Wyoming
Across the 18 Wyoming counties NASS published directly for 2026, the median pasture rent was $8 an acre. The spread ran $4 in Natrona County to $15 in Lincoln — 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.
