| Farmland and buildings, an acre, 2022 | $2,003 |
|---|---|
| The same, 2017 | $848 +136% |
| Farms counted, 2022 | 859 (999 in 2017) |
| Average farm | 1,667 acres |
| Share of the county that is farmland | 83.3% |

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.

Buying land here: the Wyoming rules
Counties sell tax liens, not land, and a lot in a subdivision needs 35 acres to be taxed as a farm.
