Notes

Data are not provided for the 2001 census consolidated subdivisions due to numerous boundary changes between censuses. These boundary changes mean that caution should be taken when comparing the data for the following census divisions in Quebec: Bellechasse (241219000), Lévis (241225000), La Nouvelle-Beauce (241226000), Shawinigan (240436000), Francheville (240437000) and Maskinongé (240451000). The following census agricultural regions in Saskatchewan are also affected: Agricultural Region 5B (475100000) and Agricultural Region 6A (476000000).

The nine-digit geographic code at the end of the geographic names comprises two digits for the province, two for the census agricultural region, two for the census division and three for the census consolidated subdivision.

Commercial and non-commercial feed purchases were overstated in Newfoundland and Labrador in 2001 due to respondent error.

All references to a dollar value are based on the current dollar of the respective year.

  1. Due to confidentiality constraints, the data for one or more geographic areas having very few farms have been combined with the data from this census consolidated subdivision or census division. For the names of the geographic areas included in this amalgamation and the number of farms in them access Geographic area amalgamations.
  2. Gross farm receipts and some operating expenses are understated at the aggregate level due to the increase in contractual arrangements (e.g., contract feeding), custom work performed by non-farmers, and the involvement in primary agriculture of large non-farm corporations such as food processors, meatpacking plants and others.
  3. "Feed, supplement and hay purchases from commercial suppliers" is a subset of "Total feed, supplement and hay purchases."
