North Dakota farm real estate averages $2,360 an acre (USDA, 2025), which ranks 43 of 48 states, well below the national average, among the cheapest farmland in the country. 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 North Dakota is $2,360 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 Minnesota ($6,790) but above Montana ($1,230) next door. North Dakota is in the Midwest. Productive cropland pulls the average up here, so raw or wooded parcels usually trade well under the headline number.
