In 1981 data in the land use tables may not add exactly in some cases due to rounding.

In British Columbia the "Total area of farms," "Area leased from governments," "Unimproved pasture" and "All other land" are higher than in previous censuses due to better quality data on government lands operated under a licence, permit or lease.

1. In 1981, the area of "Unimproved land" was under-reported in the four western provinces. This affected the "Total area of farms" for each of the western provinces and for Canada.
2. In 1976, “Land in crops” included field crops, vegetables, fruits and nursery crops. Since 1981, the definition of “Land in crops” has been expanded to include sod.
3. Traditionally, the data for summerfallow land are overstated in geographic areas where the practice is not common. However, a question added since 1991 on the use of weed control methods on summerfallow land significantly reduced the extent of over-reporting.
4. Since 1996, the term "Tame or seeded pasture" replaced "Improved land for pasture or grazing" used previously. Consequently, some respondents may have reported differently since 1996, thereby affecting the comparability of data with previous censuses.
5. Since 1976, the area of "All other land" is the sum of the areas reported for all of the remaining land-use categories in each of the seven censuses. Since 1996, the area of Christmas trees has been included with "All other land." Since 2006, a separate question about woodlands and wetlands was added and is also included in "All other land."
6. In 1996 and 2001, some operators reported unplanted land intended for crops as idle land (a component of "All other land"), since at the time of the Census of Agriculture they were uncertain as to whether this land would be planted.
