Acreage Formerly Cropped in the Great Plains

  • Frey, H. Thomas

Abstract

Acreages of cropland harvested as reported by the periodic Censuses of Agriculture peaked in 60 percent of the counties in the Great Plains by 1929 and in 90 percent by 1954. When measured in terms of the difference between the sum of county peak acreages harvested since 1880 and the acreage harvested in 1978, a minimum of 42 million acres that were formerly used for crops were not so used in 1978. Examination of this acreage confirms the notion that only a small proportion is both suitable and readily available for expanding planted acreage.
