Tenant Farmers Make Up 38.6 Percent Of U S Planters
Birmingham June 14 AP Tenant farmers in 1925 formed 38.6 percent of all farm operators in the United States though landlordism remains sparse. Most rents go to nearby owners and few rented farms are owned by out of state landlords. The study notes many tenants advance from wages to tenancy and eventually ownership, with four fifths buying land and young men predominating among tenants. Net tenancy change from 1920 to 1925 was small with 7 724 more tenants but operated farms fell by 66 756.
