Agriculture-Population Linkage data
In the fall of 2003, selected 2001 and historical data from the
Census of Agriculture-Census of Population Linkage databases are available
at the Canada and provincial levels for free. The socio-economic characteristics
for farm operators include: age; sex; marital status; mother tongue; highest
level of schooling; net farm income; as well as farm population counts
and income profiles for census farm families and households. No linkage
databases were created for the 1966 and 1976 Censuses, so historical comparisons
are not possible for those years.

Canadian Agriculture at a Glance
In the spring of 2004, Canadian Agriculture at a Glance,
a full-colour book of short, analytical articles on the agriculture sector,
is available for $49. Charts, tables, maps and photos accompany the articles.

Custom and semi-custom requests
The User Services Unit of the Census of Agriculture can tailor products
and tabulations to meet clients' special data requirements. Custom tabulations
allow users to create unique tables from the 2001 Census of Agriculture
and Agriculture-Population Linkage databases as well as from the historical
databases. Custom tabulations are available for the 1966 to 2001 Censuses.
(Agriculture-Population Linkage databases were not created for the 1966
and 1976 Censuses.) Subject to confidentiality restrictions, custom tabulations
can be produced for Census of Agriculture standard geographic areas as
well as user-defined areas. Semi-custom products created from the standard
tabulations are also available for clients interested in print-on-demand
versions of the May 15 and November 20, 2002 free data releases or a provincial/regional
component of the national farm data CD-ROM.
