Questions about Mississippi Pasture Rent and Cash Rent per Acre by County
What is the going rate for pasture in Mississippi?
USDA NASS put the 2026 statewide average at $24.00 an acre per year. County figures range widely; find yours in the table above.
How much is an acre of farmland in Mississippi?
NASS valued Mississippi farm real estate (land and buildings) at $3,650 an acre in 2026, and pasture alone at $3,310 an acre. Small tracts near towns sell for far more than these farm averages.
How do I calculate pasture rent per cow-calf pair?
Multiply the rent per acre by the acres each pair needs, then divide by the months grazed. The calculator above does it for any county.
Why is my county not listed?
NASS withholds a county's figure when too few farms report rent, to keep individual answers private.
