At 92.6 million acres, native rangeland continues to be the prevailing general category of land use in Texas. Since 1997, the accumulated localized losses of native rangeland have exceeded 4.8 million acres. In addition the statewide area in dry (non-irrigated) cropland has declined by 1.57 million acres.One of the most notable trends continues to be the conversion of native rangelands and croplands to non-native pastures. Non-native pastures now account for over 11 million acres and are the third largest land use category in the state.A more recent trend in land use is a shift to âwildlife managementâ use following state legislation in 1996 that created the official land use category for tax appraisal purposes....

Population data was obtained at the county level from the Texas Department of State Health Services (TDSHS, http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/chs/popdat/default.shtm). TDSHS estimates were used over US Census values so that population data could be compared with other datasets (which were collected in years the US Census did not occur - 1997, 2002, and 2007) in the Texas Land Trends study. TDSHS and US Census data may vary slightly.

In 2007 the average appraised market value of farms, ranches & forestlands in Texas was $1,196 per acre. On the average, this represents a 140% increase in appraised market value over the 10-year period. The increase in market values have tended to be highest in those areas surrounding major metropolitan growth areas. The Edwards Plateau, Llano Uplift and areas in the east-central portion of the state have seen the steepest price inflation. The High Plains, Trans Pecos, and Coastal Sand Plains had appraised market value increases of less than 60% over the 10-year period.

By the end of 2007, the USDA Census of Agriculture accounted for over 247,000 farming and ranching operations in the state. This represents an 8% increase since the census of 1997. In other words, Texas annually gained about 1,900 new working farms and ranches. However, the land base for Texas agriculture has decreased by as much as 2% during the same period. Average ownership size declined from 585 acres in 1997 to 527 acres in 2007.By 2007, smaller operations â those less than 100 acres in size â accounted for over 50% the stateâs total farming & ranching operations, while occupying only 3% of the land area. This class of smaller operations increased by 22% since 1997, and was the only ownership size class...
