Year. 1–5 acres. 5–20 acres. 20–50 acres, Total.
Number. Acreage. Number. Acreage. Number. Acreage. Number. Acreage.

These figures show the number and acreage of the pieces or parcels of land which are separately returned, but in many cases, especially in the groups under 20 acres, these separate pieces of land are not what are usually understood as agricultural or small holdings. The exact number of these cannot be given.
