Abstract

Land transfers are the cutting edge in the structure of landownership and control. Even though the annual turnover in rural land is very slow--currently 4.6 percent of parcels and 3.5 percent of land--concerns linger that farmers in the United States are losing control of the resource that is basic to their industry. Small, persistent changes can eventually make a difference, but the data examined here indicate that a transfer of landownership out of agriculture is occurring at an almost imperceptibly slow pace.
