Abstract: Excerpts from the report: In recent decades agriculture in southeastern United States has undergone extensive changes. Diversification of one-crop agriculture, innovations in agricultural production, and increasing industrialization have strongly affected ownership of rural land. There has been a rapid off-farm exodus of agricultural workers. The number and size of farm units have changed and sizable amounts of land have been shifted to nonfarm use. In the fall of 1960, a survey was undertaken to determine the patterns of rural landownership in 7 southeastern States. This report uses data from that survey to show the number of white and nonwhite owners of rural land in the Southeast, and the characteristics, size, and use of their land.
