What the numbers say

In 2020, Vermont's rent was 0.7 times the US average.
Gaps are years with no Vermont figure: too few farms reported in 2012, 2013 and 2014 for NASS to publish a figure. Nothing is filled in.

Every Vermont county, 2020

Darker shading means a higher figure. Values run from $99.50 an acre in Orange County to $224 an acre in Chittenden County.

Under $109 (1 county)

NASS combined Addison County, Bennington County, Caledonia County, Essex County, Franklin County, Grand Isle County, Lamoille County, Orleans County, Washington County, Windham County and Windsor County into "other counties", so they have no figure of their own.

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.
