In October and November 2012, Statistics Canada consulted with key stakeholders and data users to ensure the content of the Census of Agriculture remains relevant and satisfies the requirements of data users.
Statistics Canada sought input and feedback regarding questionnaire content from public and private stakeholders and users of Census of Agriculture data through consultation workshops held in various Canadian cities and the submission of written of proposals.
The consultation is now closed.

Over 460 consultation invitations were sent out and recipients were encouraged to forward the invitations to other interested users and stakeholders of Census of Agriculture data. A total of 168 participants attended 1 of 13 consultation workshops held across Canada in October 2012. Participants included agricultural community stakeholders representing producer associations, farm organizations and advisory groups, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, provincial agricultural departments, university researchers, other federal government departments and other divisions within Statistics Canada.
As well, more than 200 submissions for content changes were received and more than 1,000 comments and suggestions were evaluated. Recommendations that met the basic acceptance criteria moved on to testing with farm operators. Proposed questions were tested through seven focus groups and 248 one-on-one interviews with farm operators.
