The pastureland being used in the assessment muddies the stats a bit.
Thank you for the info.

They are meaningless stats, since most of the pastureland is poor quality land, and lots of areas that have so many hills the land could not be used to grow crops. The area accounted for as pastureland is substantially higher because it takes more acres to feed an animal than high quality land would.
