Purpose of the Census of Agriculture and users of the data

The Census of Agriculture provides the only comprehensive and integrated profile of the physical, economic, social and environmental aspects of Canada's agriculture industry. It is conducted every five years. The data are needed to make informed decisions about business management strategies, agricultural policies, programs and services that directly affect farmers and rural communities.

Census data provide a reliable source of information to farm organizations, government departments, agriculture suppliers and service providers, and researchers that help them to understand and respond to changes in agriculture.

But why in May?

Statistics Canada recognizes that mid-May is one of the busiest times of the year for farmers. However, collecting the data at the same time as the Census of Population streamlines procedures and saves millions of dollars.

Use of record linkages

To enhance the data from this census and to minimize the reporting burden, Statistics Canada may combine it with information from other surveys or from administrative sources.

The law protects what you tell us

The confidentiality of your census responses is protected by law. All Statistics Canada employees have taken an oath of secrecy. Your personal census information cannot be given to anyone outside Statistics Canada without your consent. This is your right.

Fax or e-mail transmission disclosure

Statistics Canada advises you that there could be a risk of disclosure during facsimile or e-mail transmission. However, upon receipt, Statistics Canada will provide the guaranteed level of protection afforded all information collected under the authority of the Statistics Act.

Definitions and Concepts

Research and Development (Frascati Manual)

Research and experimental development (R&D) comprise creative and systematic work undertaken in order to increase the stock of knowledge – including knowledge of humankind, culture and society – and to devise new applications of available knowledge. R&D is performed in the natural sciences, engineering, social sciences and humanities. There are three types of R&D activities: basic research, applied research and experimental development. R&D ends when the work is no longer experimental and is ready for pre-production, commercialization, implementation or dissemination. The R&D phase has ended when the primary objective is to develop markets, to do pre-production planning or to ensure that operating systems are working.

In-house R&D

'In-house' refers to R&D which is performed on-site or within the organization's establishment. Exclude R&D expenses performed by other companies or organizations.

Payments to others to perform R&D

Payments made through contracts, grants, donations and fellowships to another company, organization or individual to purchase or fund R&D activities.

Reporting period information

Here are some examples of common fiscal periods that fall within the targeted dates:

  • May 1, 2014 to April 30, 2015
  • June 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015
  • August 1, 2014 to July 31, 2015
  • October 1, 2014 to September 30, 2015
  • December 1, 2014 to November 30, 2015
  • January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015
  • February 1, 2015 to January 31, 2016
  • March 1, 2015 to February 28, 2016
  • April 1, 2015 to March 31, 2016

Here are other examples of fiscal periods that fall within the required dates:

  • September 18, 2014 to September 15, 2015 (e.g., floating year-end)
  • June 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015 (e.g., a newly opened business)

Full-time equivalent (FTE) (Q6)

The organization's personnel is composed of full-time and part-time employees.

FTE (full-time equivalent) = Number of persons who work full-time for the organization + part time workers.

Example calculation: If out of four employees, one works full-time for the organization and the remaining three devote only one quarter of their working time to the organization, then: FTE = 1 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 1.75 employees.

In-house R&D (Q7)

Current costs

  1. Wages and salaries

    Fringe benefits of employees engaged in R&D activities. Fringe benefits include bonus payments, holiday or vacation pay, pension fund contributions, other social security payments, payroll taxes, etc.
  2. Services to support R&D

    Payments to on-site R&D consultants and contractors working under the direct control of your organization; indirect services purchased to support in-house R&D such as security, storage, repair, maintenance and use of buildings and equipment; computer services, software licensing fees and dissemination of R&D findings
  3. R&D materials

    Utilities: water, fuel, gas and electricity; materials for creation of prototypes, reference materials (books, journals, etc.); subscriptions to libraries and databases, memberships to scientific societies, etc.; cost of outsourced small R&D prototypes or R&D models; materials for laboratories (chemicals, animals, etc.); all other R&D-related materials
  4. All other current costs

    Administrative and overhead costs (e.g., office, post and telecommunications, internet, insurance), prorated if necessary to allow for non-R&D activities within organization

Capital expenditures

Capital in-house expenditures are the annual gross amount paid for the acquisition of fixed assets that are used repeatedly, or continuously in the performance of R&D for more than one year. They should be reported in full for the period when they occurred.

  1. Software

    Basic research is experimental or theoretical work undertaken primarily to acquire new knowledge of the underlying foundations of phenomena and observable facts, without any particular application or use in view.
  2. Applied research
    Applied research is original investigation undertaken in order to acquire new knowledge. It is, however, directed primarily towards a specific practical aim or objective.
  3. Experimental development
    Experimental development is systematic work, drawing on existing knowledge gained from research and practical experience and producing additional knowledge, which is directed to producing new products or processes, or to improving existing products or processes.

Results or outcomes of R&D (Q16)

  1. Goods
    Goods developed through new knowledge from research discoveries include: determination of effectiveness of existing treatment protocols, new treatment protocols (including diagnostic procedures, tests and protocols), new service delivery models and reference tools (including electronic applications)
  2. Services
    Include on-going knowledge transfer to physicians, first responders, patients and the general public

R&D personnel (Q17)

R&D may be carried out by persons who work solely on R&D projects or by persons who devote only part of their time to R&D, and the balance to other activities such as testing, quality control and production engineering. To arrive at the total effort devoted to R&D in terms of personnel, it is necessary to estimate the full-time equivalent of these persons working only part-time in R&D.

FTE (full-time equivalent) = Number of persons who work solely on R&D projects + the time of persons working only part of their time on R&D.

Example calculation: If out of four scientists engaged in R&D work, one works solely on R&D projects and the remaining three devote only one quarter of their working time to R&D, then: FTE = 1 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 1.75 scientists.
