FARM CLASSIFICATIONS 



Tables 26 and 27 present detailed data for farms 

 classified by size of farm and tenure of operator. 



Farms by size — Farms were classified by size on the basis 

 of the total land area established in each one. According 

 to the census definition, a farm is essentially an operating 

 unit, not an ownership tract. All land operated or 

 managed by one person or partnership represents one 

 farm. In the case of share-tenants, the land assigned to 

 each share-tenant is considered a separate farm, even 

 though the landlord may consider his/her entire land- 

 holding to be one unit rather than several separate units. 



Farms by tenure of operator— Farms were classified by 

 tenure of operator on the basis of information reported for 

 land owned, rented from others, operated under a govern- 

 ment permit, operated without a permit (nonpermittee), 

 or furnished by the Government of Guam in connection 

 with the operator's living quarters. During the process- 

 ing operations, each report form was coded to indicate 

 whether the operator was a full owner, part owner, 

 tenant, permittee, nonpermittee, or other operator. 



Full owners— These operate only land owned or land 

 owned plus land operated under a permit, without a per- 

 mit, or in connection with living quarters furnished by 

 the Government of Guam. 



Part owners — These operate land owned plus land 

 rented from others. They may also operate land under
