Pastureland

Definition

Pastureland is land used for grazing animals rather than growing row crops.

Technical definition

Pastureland is agricultural land used primarily for grazing livestock, valued based on carrying capacity and forage productivity.

Why it matters

Pastureland is valued and financed differently from cropland, since its income potential comes from grazing rather than crops.

Example

Acreage where cattle graze is pastureland.
