Nebraska farm real estate averages $4,250 an acre (USDA, 2025), which ranks 29 of 48 states, close to the national average. Raw and rural parcels usually trade below that.
According to the USDA's 2025 land value survey, the average value of farm real estate in Nebraska is $4,250 per acre. That is the all in average across land and buildings, so vacant, wooded or recreational ground typically sells for less per acre, while small buildable lots near a town can sell for more. It sits below Iowa ($9,790) but above South Dakota ($2,970) next door. Nebraska is in the Midwest. Productive cropland pulls the average up here, so raw or wooded parcels usually trade well under the headline number.
Smaller parcels carry a higher price per acre than large blocks, the same land just costs more by the piece. Rough ranges for raw or rural Nebraska land:
