VIII. INDIVIDUAL CROPPING PATTERN OF FIELD CROPS
In this section I will briefly describe statistically the
area of field crops under production according to the crop
and the size of area farmed by individual peasant households.
After vegetable production, the production of field crops was
the second most important source of agricultural land use in
the region. Field crop production accounted for almost a
quarter of arable land used in the region and the area under
field crop production was 4576.5 dunums in 1983.
The data on the production of corn show that corn production
had the least number of producers among field crops and only
1% of peasant farmers produced corn. The actual area of corn
production ranged from 1-19 dunums per farm and there was no
large-scale extensive units of land under corn production.
The most common area produced was 1-4 dunums (see Table 75).
The majority of producers (56%) were sharecroppers although
this group accounted for only 1% of the sharecropping
population. There were no cash tenants or farming-—landlords
engaged in corn production.
Wheat farming was the single most important type of field
crop production with 28% of the region's farmers producing
wheat (see Table 76). The actual area of wheat production per
farm ranged from 1-100 dunums with average production being
20 dunums and the most common area farmed was 5-9 dunums.
Thus, wheat farming was often carried out in quite an
extensive manner with the area of wheat covering relatively
