cropland
Soil under cultivation
Cropland is land used or suitable for growing crops.
The term appears in agricultural policy, land-use planning, and environmental discussions: The county lost thousands of acres of cropland to suburban development.
Unlike farmland, which may include pastures and buildings, cropland specifically refers to cultivated acreage.
