I’ll suggest that farmland is even older, like thousands of years old, and it belonged to other people who lived there before Europeans showed up. So it’s important to keep that in the conversation.
The land has been above-water since the middle Triassic. So yes, much older than thousands. The most recent non-European owners didn't leave much in the way of title (they took possession of it by conquest); so it is important to keep that in the conversation.
