farming land

Soil for cultivation

Land used for agriculture—cultivating crops or raising livestock.

Farming land suggests active agricultural use rather than mere potential: They converted the old farming land into a housing development.

The phrase emphasizes the land's purpose, distinguishing it from woodland, residential property, or undeveloped acreage.

Also called farmland.
