Agricultural Census Tables
On this page:
Statistics Canada conducts the Census of Agriculture every five years to produce detailed, accurate and timely data on the agriculture industry in Canada. It collects data on the number and type of agricultural operations, farm operator characteristics, business operating arrangements, land management practices, crop areas, numbers of livestock and poultry, farm business capital, operating expenses and receipts, and farm machinery and equipment. These data are used to benchmark estimates of crop area, livestock and financial numbers for the years between censuses. The census also provides a unique source of data for small geographic areas.
