Montana Statewide Per-Acre Lease Rates
Source: These data are from NASS Quickstats. You can query them using the https://quickstats.nass.usda.gov/ tool by navigating to Survey>Economics>Expenses>Rent. Note that these rates are per acre, per year. However, the lease term is not specified, and leases for less than one year are included as well. (There is noise in these data!) Rates are nominal (not inflation adjusted). Blank cells indicate NASS did not publish an estimate. You can find more information here.
