2. Private land
Privately owned lands, not held or operated under the

usually be the head of the family which plants or gathers the
crops.

a. Any land used in owner-like possession for the benefit of the extended
family should be reported as land owned under section 1, question 1. If
the land is used for the sole benefit of the operator rather than the
extended family, report the land under section 1, question 2 on a separate
questionnaire.
b. Any land used to which title or right of ownership is not held, should be
reported as land rented FROM OTHERS under section 1, question 2. Do
this even though no rent is paid to the owner of this land.
c. Any land to which the title is held or ownership claimed, which is used by
a nonmember of the extended family, should be reported as land rented
TO OTHERS under section 1, question 3. Do this even though no rent is
paid by the nonmember. In such cases, a separate agriculture
questionnaire should be completed for the lands reported under section 1,
question 3 in the name of the person in charge.
