or mortgage, or as heir or trustee of an undivided 
estate at the time of the enumeration. 
Land rented from others (tenants). This includes 
all land that the operator rented or leased from 
others or used rent free. 
Land rented to others. This includes all land 
rented or leased to others for cash or a share of the 
crops or livestock, and land rented from others and 
then subleased to others. 
Land in two or more municipios. An individual 
farm was counted in only one municipio even if 
the land was located in two or more municipios. 
The land in each farm was tabulated as being in the 
operator's principal municipio. The principal 
municipio was defined as the one where the largest 
value of the agricultural products was raised or 
produced. It was usually, but not always, where the 
operator reported all or the largest part of the total 
land. 
Land irrigated. This is land that had water applied 
by artificial means for agricultural purposes. It 
includes both harvested cropland and pastureland. 
Separate figures were obtained for areas irrigated 
by water from public and private systems. Some 
land was irrigated from public systems or facilities 
operated by the Government, as well as from one 
or more private systems. Such land was reported 
under both private and public systems. Data were 
also obtained on the principal type of irrigation 
employed: gravity, drip, sprinkle, or other type. 
Data were also obtained on the major sources of 
water used for irrigation, such as: wells or cisterns, 
rivers or streams, lakes or private ponds, canals, 
and other sources. 
Land use. The land was classified according to the 
way it was used during the period between January 
1, 2012 and December 31, 2012. This classification 
includes four major groups: 
Cropland - This group includes cultivated 
cropland, cropland used for pasture or grazing, 
cropland used for cover crops, cropland where all 
crops failed, and cropland at rest. Land used for 
intercropping or successive cropping was recorded 
compra o hipoteca, o como herederos o fideicomisarios 
de una propiedad que no estaba dividida en el momento 
de la enumeracion. 
Tierra arrendada de otros (inquilinos). Esta partida 
incluye toda tierra que el agricultor alquilaba o 
arrendaba de otros o que usaba sin pagar alquiler. 
Tierra arrendada a otros. Esta partida incluye toda 
tierra que el agricultor alquilaba o arrendaba a otros por 
dinero o por parte de la cosecha o de los animales y 
tierra rentada de otros y subarrendada. 
Tierra en dos o mas municipios. Una finca individual 
se conto en un solo municipio aunque el terreno esta 
localizado en dos o mas municipios. El terreno en cada 
finca se tabulo como si estuviese en el municipio 
principal del agricultor. El municipio principal se 
definio donde el valor mayor de los productos agricolas 
fueron cosechados o producidos. Usualmente, pero no 
siempre, esto era el municipio donde el agricultor 
reportaba toda o la mayor parte del terreno. 
Terrenos bajo riego. Esto incluye terrenos con riego 
por medios artificiales para propositos agricolas. 
Incluye terrenos bajo cultivo y terrenos de pastoreo. Se 
obtuvieron cifras separadas de areas regadas con aguas 
de sistemas privados y piiblicos. Algunos terrenos 
utilizaron facilidades operadas por un sistema publico o 
por uno o mas sistemas privados. Ese tipo de terreno se 
reporto bajo ambos, el sistema privado y el sistema 
publico. Tambien se obtuvieron datos sobre el principal 
tipo de irrigacion utilizado: gravedad, goteo, aerea o 
subterranea. Ademas, se obtuvieron datos sobre las 
fuentes principales de abastecimiento del agua que se 
usaba para riego, tales como pozos y cisternas, rios y 
riachuelos, lagos y charcas, represas construidas, y otras 
fuentes. 
Utilizacion del terreno. El terreno se clasifico de 
acuerdo a como se utilize durante el periodo del Iro de 
enero al 31 de diciembre de 2012. Esta clasificacion 
incluye cuatro grupos principales: 
Terrenos cultivados - Esto incluye terrenos en donde se 
cosecharon frutos, terrenos usados para pastar o 
apacentar, terreno usado para siembras de forraje, 
terreno en donde los frutos no se dieron y terreno 
inactivo. Terreno que se utilize para sembrar
