Section 2 Selected Agriculture–Population variables by various farm operator characteristics

Canada

Table 2.4-1
Selected Agriculture–Population variables by various farm operator characteristics – Occupation by the farm operator’s sex for total operators, operators on farms with one operator and operators on farms with two or more operators, census years 2006 and 2001
Canada Occupation
All categories Farmers or farm managers Other agricultural occupations Non-agricultural occupations
2006 number of farm operators
Symbol:
  • 0true zero or a value rounded to zero
Notes:
  1. This is a count of distinct operators; hence, operators of two or more separate farms were included only once in the total. The data for the variable "total number of farm operators" in this table are derived from Agriculture–Population Linkage 20% sample data, which have been used to derive estimates for the entire population. These data will differ from corresponding data in the Farm Data and Farm Operator Data release tables, which were based on data collected for all farms.
  2. The data for the sex variables in this table are derived from Agriculture–Population Linkage 20% sample data, which have been used to derive estimates for the entire population. These data will differ from corresponding data in the Farm Data and Farm Operator Data release tables, which were based on data collected for all farms.
