Not sure this fully backs the statistic above, but a detailed USDA report:

https://www.ers.usda.gov/webdocs/publications/74672/60298_ei...

It doesn't clearly state how many farmers lease land, but 39% of acreage is rented.

The 98% statistic appears in the follwing item, but concerns white vs black land ownership, not rental vs. ownership:
