farmlands
Crops grow here
Farmlands are areas of land used for agriculture—fields, pastures, and cultivated acreage devoted to growing crops or raising livestock.
The term typically refers to rural expanses rather than individual farms: Urban sprawl is eating into the farmlands surrounding the city.
Farmland (singular) works the same way but emphasizes the land as a category or resource: prime farmland, farmland preservation.
