To buy Agricultural Land you need to be a farmer as in you need to have the Farmer status holding the RED BOOK. It is a catch 22 situation that to buy Agricultural Land you need to be a farmer, but how can you be a farmer if you do not hold any agricultural land ? There are a couple of ways you can do this viz you can get the Farmer / Agriculturist status from the collector of the location in which you are interested to buy Land, needs liasioning through a local or there arecertain Locations in India where you can buy Agricultural land in India without being a farmer, once you have Agricultural land in your name anywhere in India in your name then you can on that basis buy Agricultural Land anywhere and claim your Agriculturist status
