Abstract: Over 10.6 million acres were cleared for agricultural use in the United States during 1975-77 by 317,500 ownership units. These owners cleared an average of 33 acres at an average cost of about $175 per acre. Total investment in clearing exceeded $1.5 billion for the 1975-77 period. About 6 million acres were cleared in the Southern Plains, Appalachian, and Southeast regions. Pasture and rangeland was an important use of land both before and after clearing.
