Land Use, Land Value & Tenure
A majority of U.S. land in farms is owner-operated—just over 60 percent, according to the 2022 Census of Agriculture. The national share of farmland that is owner-operated has been relatively stable over the past 50 years, with a noticeable decline during the farm financial crisis of the 1980s. Higher rates of farmland rental are reported in the Mississippi Delta region, as well as the Corn Belt and the Northern Plains.
