What the numbers say
- Trempealeau County's rent is the same as the Wisconsin average and 1.1 times the US average.
- It is the 5th highest of the 11 Wisconsin counties NASS published for 2026.
- Since 2017 it has risen 20.5%, from $219 to $264 an acre.
- Gaps are years with no separate Trempealeau figure: NASS ran no county survey in 2018, and in 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2024 it combined Trempealeau into "other counties". Nothing is filled in.

What this measures
NASS asks farm operators what they pay in cash rent per acre, separately for irrigated cropland, non-irrigated cropland and pasture. State figures come out at the end of July; county figures follow in August. When too few farms in a county answer, NASS combines that county with others and publishes one "other counties" figure, so some counties have no figure of their own.
