That “farmland” number is next to meaningless. The vast majority of animal land is useless for other agriculture. If you are visualizing a green grassy field full of cows, that is nice and they might even support one cow per acre (2/hectare). Those area numbers are completely swamped by the huge areas you don’t see where someone is grazing one skinny cow per 200 acres (100 hectares) of high desert.
A more useful number might discount the grazing/fodder lands which are not useful for other agriculture.
