|---|---|
| The same, 2017 | $1,475 +49% |
| Farms counted, 2022 | 400 (396 in 2017) |

The farm figure is land and buildings together, averaged over every farm in the county, from the largest ranch to the smallest holding. It is for comparing one county with another, not a price for any parcel: a few acres with road frontage usually costs more an acre than the average, not less. The home value comes from a survey that reaches few homes here, so its margin of error is wide.
