Vinton County cash rent
USDA NASS reports county cash rent for non-irrigated cropland as a county average, refreshed on the annual USDA cycle. The table shows every year NASS reported for Vinton County, with the Ohio statewide average included as a clearly labeled context row (a state average is never a substitute for the county figure, and neither is a substitute for a parcel-level read).
| Year | Cash rent | Data level |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | USD 56/ac | Vinton County (NASS) |
| 2022 | USD 27/ac | Vinton County (NASS) |
| 2025 | USD 184/ac | Ohio statewide average (context) |
County averages for non-irrigated cropland, not medians. The Ohio statewide average row is labeled as state-level and is not a Vinton County figure.
What Vinton County grows
USDA NASS's annual county survey has no recent crop estimates for Vinton County, so these come from the USDA 2022 Census of Agriculture, which counts every county every five years. They are 2022 figures: corn for grain, soybeans and wheat by harvested acres, the same crops the survey reports elsewhere. NASS withholds some county figures, so this is the reported field-crop picture, not the county's entire cropland.
| Crop | Harvested acres | Census year |
|---|---|---|
| Soybeans | 1,075 | 2022 |
| Corn | 877 | 2022 |
Reported field crops ranked by harvested acres in the 2022 Census of Agriculture. Ranked by acreage, not value. Not ranked against other Ohio counties, whose figures come from the annual survey.

Energy interest in Vinton County
Vinton County shows 2 active or pending electric-interconnection requests in the LBNL Queued Up dataset (2026 edition, queue data through December 2025), predominantly solar. A queue request is an early-stage filing, not a built or contracted project, and most queued capacity never reaches operation, so treat it as a signal of developer interest in the area rather than a forecast. Scout weighs transmission distance and the local queue when it models whether a solar or wind lease is realistic for a specific parcel.
