Data on total income of farm operators from the Agriculture Taxation Data Program (ATDP) for 2015 are now available. Data files are available upon request.
Total income corresponds to the sum of off-farm income—that is, wages and salaries, net off-farm self-employment income, investment income, pension income, government social transfers (excluding pension amounts) and other off-farm income—and net operating income (total operating revenues less total operating expenses).
The ATDP uses taxation records to produce data on total income of farm operators. The estimates cover farm operators involved in a single farm: either an unincorporated farm with total farm operating revenue equal to or greater than $10,000, or an incorporated farm with total farm operating revenue of $25,000 and over.
Note to readers
The Agriculture Taxation Data Program (ATDP) underwent a redesign for reference year 2015. Until reference year 2014, the ATDP employed a weighted sample design. Starting in reference year 2015, the ATDP is based on a census of tax-filers, thus eliminating sampling and subsequent weighting.
As a result of these changes, data users are advised to use caution when comparing 2015 data with the previous years.
These data are subject to revision.
