Agriculture’s Economic Research
Service.
The 14 million acres represent
slightly more than 1 percent of U.S.
agricultural land.
Forest land accounts for 57
percent of all foreign-owned
acreage; cropland, 14 percent;
pasture and other agriculture, 24
percent; and nonagricultural and
unreported uses, 5 percent.
Corporations own 83 percent of
the foreign-held acreage; part
nerships, 9 percent; and in
dividuals, 7 percent. The
remaining 1 percent is held by
estates, trusts, associations, in-
U.S
stitutions, and others.
U.S. corporations with 5 percent
or more foreign ownership
reported owning 62 percent of all
the foreign-trade acreage. The
remaining 38 percent is held by
foreign persons not affiliated with
a U.S. corporation.
Some land is held only in part by
foreign investors. These partial
interests reduce the 14 million
acres of foreign holdings of U.S.
agricultural land to an equivalent
of 12.6 million acres.
Foreign persons from Canada,
the United Kingdom, Hong Kong,
West Germany, and the
Netherlands Antilles own 73
percent of the foreign-held
acreage.
The largest foreign-owned
acreage, mostly timber land, was
in Maine, accounting for 15.5
percent of the state’s privately
owned agricultural land. Foreign
holdings in Maine represent about
one-fifth of all reported foreign
owned land nationwide. Three
large timber companies own 95
percent of the foreign-held acres in
Maine. One company has only
partial interests in 32 percent of
the acres and the other two
companies are U.S. companies
which are partially foreign owned.
Except for Maine, foreign
holdings are concentrated in the
South and West-36 percent in the
South and 27 percent in the West.
Rhode Island is the only state with
no reported foreign-owned
agricultural land.
These findings are based on an
analysis of reports submitted to
USD A under the Agricultural
Foreign Investment Disclosure
Act of 1978. The reports indicate
foreign owners planned to keep 92
percent of their acreage in
agricultural produciton. They also
reported no change m tenancy or
rental arrangements on 41 percent
of the acres, some change on 31
percent of the acres, and “no
response” for the remaining 28
percent.
Foreign holdings in Penn
sylvania total 176,656 acres; in
Maryland, 47,313; in New York,
381,264; in New Jersey, 26,419;
and, in Delaware, 8,310.
