Abstract

This report summarizes information from the 1987 Census of Agriculture on owning and renting farmland. Full owners are the dominant tenure type in terms of farm numbers, but part owners control 54 percent of the land in farms and produce 47 percent of the market value of farm products sold. Most of the increasing number of very large farms are operated by part owners. Eighty-seven percent of all farms are operated as individual or family sole proprietorships. The report also furnishes information on farms operated by women and blacks, types of farm operators who work off the farm, and concentration of farm corporations.
