No rent-to-price figure yet: Colorado's county sale files don't say whether land was farmed when it sold, so farm sales can't be told apart from other land sales.
NASS withholds a county’s figure when too few farms answered, and pools some counties together; those counties are left out (52 of Colorado’s counties have a figure). The county pages of the other 12 counties show our estimate from the counties around them, marked as an estimate.
