Farm Owners Exceed
Renters in County
Of 2,545 Farms in Redwood
County, Owners Worked
1,347 and Renters 1,19S

In Redwood county there were
1,347 farms operated by their owners
last year while 1,19S were operated
by renters. This represents a total
of 2,545 farms in the county, as
shown in the Minnesota state farm
census for 1929, copy of which
The Morgan Messenger has received
from N. ]. Holmberg, commissioner
of agriculture.
The PERCENTAGE of renters in this
county is considerably higher than
for the state as a whole but this is
partly explained by the fact that in
parts Of the county there are some
large land holdings in the hands of
a few owners. The ration of owners
to tenants has not changed percepti-
bly, in recent years despite the farm
depression.
For the state as whole the num-
Der of owners has decreased since
1925 and the number of renters in
creased but the comparison does not
represent alarming figures at all,
and in fact the condition does not
bear out the popular notion that
farmers are losing their farms in
large numbers and that, tenantry is
greatly increasing. - The number of
farms operated by their owners in
Minnesota, decreased from 125, 1921 in
1925. to 123,891 in 1929, a difference
ses barely more than 1000, and there
was a corresponding increase in the
number of renters.
The total farm acreage in Redwood
county was 531,727 acres according
to farm census. Corn in the big
crop with 1889 acres. Oats comes
next with 98,442, then barley with
48,473. Rye is credited with 2O,185
acres. Spring and winter wheat
combined represents less than $4,000
acres last year. That was consider
ably less than ten per cent of the
acreage devoted to corn and grains
Of the 1897 Brown county farms
operated during the past year, 1,27s
of them were operated by their own
.ers and 719 by renters. The total
acreage in Brown county last year
