What the numbers say

In 2020, Orange County's rent was 0.7 times the Vermont average and 0.5 times the US average.
It is the lowest of the 3 Vermont counties NASS published for 2020.
Gaps are years with no separate Orange figure: NASS ran no county survey in 2015 or 2018, in 2026 it combined Orange into "other counties", and NASS had no figure available in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. 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.
