There are nearly 2 million fewer owners of U.S. agricultural land now than in 1945. This dramatic drop is mostly due to our steadily declining population of farmers. Periodic censuses and surveys by the Census Bureau detail farm production, operations and owners. The 1988 Agricultural Economics and Land Ownership Survey features data on farmland ownership for calendar year 1988, and the Brief highlights data from that survey.
