Abstract: Women who own and lease out farmland form a large proportion of farm landlords, yet their role in the farmland leasing market has been largely unexamined. Forty percent of private (that is, noncorporate and nonpublic) agricultural landlords are women, and they control 40 percent of the privately held farmland rented out. This report examines the extent of women's involvement in agricultural leasing, the characteristics of women landlords, and their participation in management decisions on their leased land. The report is based on the 1988 Agricultural Economics and Land Ownership Survey (AELOS), a follow-on to the 1987 Census of Agriculture and the latest data available.
