 Owner Characteristics and Distribution of Land Ownership in the Eastern Great PlainsBoxley, Robert F., No 320526, Miscellaneous Publications from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service Abstract: Excerpts from the Preface: This study is based on data obtained from a mail survey of landowners in the Great Plains States conducted in 1957-58 by what was then the Farm Economics Research Division, Agricultural Research Service. Detailed information on the results of the survey--the number of landowners, the amount, value, and use of land they owned, and characteristics of landowners--were reported in two earlier publications: Land Ownership in the Great Plains, a Preliminary Report (ARS 43-93, June 1959) and Land Ownership in the Great Plains, a Statistical Summary (Stat. Bui. 261, April 1960). This report is an analysis of the relationship of selected characteristics of landowners in the Eastern Great Plains to the size distribution of their landholdings. It was undertaken to determine whether personal characteristics such as inheritance, age at acquisition, length of ownership, owner occupation, and others differ significantly over the range of ownership holding changes. The relationships reported in this study change slowly and will be valid for some time after the survey was made.
