The densest areas are southeastern Pennsylvania, the upperPiedmont of South Carolina and Georgia, eastern, central, and westir-rn Tennessee, theOhio Valley, and the Yazoo Delta in Mississippi. Over half the farms in the UnitedStates are in the Cotton Belt and the Corn and Winter Wheat Region. Many of thetenant farms on the plantations in the Cotton Belt, however, are little more thanlaborers allotments. The Corn Belt, although it includes over one-third the value offarm property in the United States, has only one-seventh of the farms. Nine-tenths ofthe farms are in the eastern half of the United States. The relative density of farmpopulation in the South is even greater than that of farms.
