75% of farmers say they want stronger limits on who can own farmland

"A RealAgristudies survey found that 75% of Canadian farmers believe there should be stronger limits on who can own farmland, reflecting significant concern over land access."

"The survey revealed that farmers with revenues over $5 million rated the need for ownership limits at 4.29, while those with revenues between $2.5 - $5 million rated it at 4.16."

"Younger farmers, particularly those under 35, rated the need for stronger limits at 4.24, while farmers over 65 rated it lower at 3.99, indicating a generational divide."

A RealAgristudies survey reveals that 75% of Canadian farmers advocate for stricter land ownership restrictions. While farmland has been a lucrative asset, concerns about access for actual farmers persist. The survey indicates that 45% strongly agree and 30% somewhat agree with the need for limits. Revenue influences opinions, with larger farms favoring restrictions more strongly. Younger farmers express stronger support than older farmers. Geographic differences show western farmers rating the need for limits slightly higher than those in the east.
