Land removed from crop production, 1975-77--a report on a landownership, follow-on survey
1982
Daugherty, A.B.
Extract: An estimated 2.8 million acres were removed from crop production by more than 78,000 landowners during the 1975-77 period. Two -thirds of the land removed from crops had been in production more than 10 years. Health or age of the owner was the principal reason given for the changed land use. Hay, wheat and corn, respectively comprised the largest acreages of land removed from cropland. Nearly half the land taken out of crops during the 1975-77 period was in pasture or range in 1978. An additional third was reported as idle.
