It will be seen that 44 per cent. of the area of these farms is 
under corn crops, 19 per cent. under rotation grasses and 17 per 
cent. under permanent pasture. While corn is an important 
item, they all carry a substantial head of stock. 
Out of the 39,600 farms in this group 12,000 are between 
20 and 50 acres, and 10,000 from 50 to 100 acres. Of the 
remainder, the size-group from 150 to 300 acres has the largest 
number and the largest acreage of any.
