Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Farmland tenure shapes many farm decisions, including those related to production, conservation, and succession planning. The relatively advanced age of many farmers raises questions abut land ownership, especially how land will be transferred to the next generation of agricultural landowners and operators. This study provides a descriptive baseline analysis of land ownership and then focuses on more detailed aspects of land tenure, including non-operator landlords, rental agreements, the acquisition and transfer of land, and how decisionmaking is shared by landlords and their tenants. The report is designed to support broad discussions related to agricultural land ownership and to provide a starting point for more detailed statistical analysis. Figures and tables.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning, limited-resource, and socially disadvantaged farmers make up 40% of all U.S. farms. Some Federal conservation programs contain provisions that encourage participation by such ¿targeted¿ farmers. This report compares the natural resource characteristics, resource issues, and conservation treatment costs on farms operated by targeted farmers with those of other participants. Targeted farmers tend to operate more environmentally sensitive land than other farmers, have different conservation priorities, and receive different levels of payments. The different conservation priorities among types of farmers suggest that if a significantly larger proportion of targeted farmers participate in these programs, the programs¿ economic and environmental outcomes could change. Tables and graphs.

Book excerpt: Farmers receive $16 billion annually in federal farm program payments. These payments go to 2 million recipients, both individuals and entities. It has been reported that the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture (USDA) did not ensure that these payments went only to those who meet eligibility requirements. This report evaluates: (1) how effectively USDA implemented 2002 Farm Bill provisions prohibiting payments to individuals or entities whose income exceeded $2.5 million and who derived less than 75% of that income from farming, ranching, or forestry operations; (2) the impact of the 2008 Farm Bill's income eligibility provisions on individuals who receive farm payments; and (3) the dist. of income of these individuals compared with all 2006 tax filers.
