National Agricultural Statistics Service
Title: 2024 Tenure, Ownership, and
Transition of Agricultural Land
(TOTAL) Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0240.
Summary of Collection: The 2024
Tenure, Ownership, and Transition of
Agricultural Land (TOTAL) is an
integral part of the 2022 Census of
Agriculture and is conducted under the
authority of the Census of Agriculture
Act of 1997 (Pub. L. 105–113). This law
requires the Secretary of Agriculture to
conduct a census of agriculture in 1998
and every fifth year following 1998. The
primary functions of the National
Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS)
are to prepare and issue State and
national estimates of crop and livestock
production, disposition, and prices and
to collect information on related
environmental and economic factors.
Need and Use of the Information:
TOTAL will be conducted as a followon survey to the 2022 Census of
Agriculture and will use two
questionnaires, one for farm operators
and one for landlords who do not farm.
The survey will obtain data to
accurately define the economic status of
U.S. farm operations and households.
Detailed, farm level, economic data are
essential for making informed decisions
relating to the farming industry. The
combined data series will yield a
complete picture of farm expenses and
land ownership of American farmland.
Approximately every ten years
(coinciding with the Census of
Agriculture), a survey of farmland
ownership and farm operators regarding
farm revenues and expenses is
conducted. We propose to field TOTAL
to address this need. In intervening
years, the Agricultural Resource
Management Survey Phase 3 (ARMS 3)
(OMB #0535–0275), an economic survey
with content similar to the farm
operator portion of the decennial
survey, is conducted. Accordingly, in
this proposal to field TOTAL, we also
propose to suspend ARMS 3 for the
2024 crop year (would have been
enumerated in 2025) to minimize
respondent burden as well as to remove
possible duplication of data.
This is a reinstatement with change,
of the TOTAL survey to be conducted as
a follow-on survey to the 2022 Census

of Agriculture. Changes from the
previous TOTAL survey include
collecting data from all 50 States as
opposed to excluding Alaska and
Hawaii as in previous surveys. Alaska
and Hawaii will be included in
published landlord statistics for other
States and not individually like what
will be published for the 15 largest
agricultural producing States based on
value of sales (core States).
Description of Respondents: Farms;
Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 89,600.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
Annually.
