Census of Agriculture, 2016 [Canada]: Farm Data and Farm Operator Data [B2020 & Excel]

Statistics Canada conducts the Census of Agriculture every five years at the same time as the Census of Population. The most recent Census of Agriculture was on May 10, 2016. The Census of Agriculture collects and disseminates a wide range of data on the agriculture industry, including the number and type of farms, farm operator characteristics, business operating arrangements, land management practices, crop areas, the number of livestock and poultry, farm capital, total operating expenses and receipts, and farm machinery and equipment. Census data provide a comprehensive picture of the agriculture industry across Canada every five years at the national, provincial and territorial levels, as well as at lower levels of geography. The Census of Agriculture is the cornerstone of Canada's Agriculture Statistics Program. Census of Agriculture data are an indispensable public and private sector tool for analysing important changes in the agriculture and food industries; developing, implementing and evaluating agricultural policies and programs such as farm income safety nets and environmental sustainability; and making production, marketing and investment decisions. Statistics Canada uses the data as benchmarks for its regular surveys on crops, livestock and farm finances between census years. This release contains all farm and farm operator data. For current Census of Agriculture data refer to Statistics Canada.
