Grand County, Colorado
Grand County, CO: non-irrigated cash rent $11 an acre (2020); land and buildings $2,754 an acre in the 2022 census. County averages from public records, not an appraisal of any farm. FIPS 08049. Figures as of 2026-09-20.
Irrigated cash rent in 2022 runs $53 per acre, against $11 per acre for non-irrigated ground in 2020.

July nights average 44.8 F for 2017-2026, against a 1991-2020 normal of 43.9 F, and the county has logged zero Julys at or above 70 F since 1900.
