Introduction

Purpose

The purpose of the field crop surveys is to obtain information on seeded and harvested field crop areas, average yields, production and on-farm stocks at strategic times over the course of a typical crop cycle, which ranges from spring to late fall. Therefore, the field crop surveys are conducted in June, November and December. Model-based estimates are used for March on-farm stocks and model-based estimates of yields and production, obtained from satellite imagery, are produced in July and August. Seeding intentions are collected in December.

Additional information

Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.

Authority

This information is collected under the authority of the Statistics Act, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, Chapter S-19.

Completion of this questionnaire is a legal requirement under this act.

Confidentiality

By law, Statistics Canada is prohibited from releasing any information it collects that could identify any person, business, or organization, unless consent has been given by the respondent, or as permitted by the Statistics Act. Statistics Canada will use the information from this survey for statistical purposes only.

Data-sharing agreements

To reduce respondent burden, Statistics Canada has entered into data-sharing agreements with provincial and territorial statistical agencies and other government organizations, which have agreed to keep the data confidential and use them only for statistical purposes. Statistics Canada will only share data from this survey with those organizations that have demonstrated a requirement to use the data.

Section 11 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with provincial and territorial statistical agencies that meet certain conditions. These agencies must have the legislative authority to collect the same information, on a mandatory basis, and the legislation must provide substantially the same provisions for confidentiality and penalties for disclosure of confidential information as the Statistics Act. Because these agencies have the legal authority to compel businesses to provide the same information, consent is not requested and businesses may not object to the sharing of the data.

For this survey, there are Section 11 agreements with the provincial statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. The shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province.

Section 12 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with federal, provincial or territorial government organizations. Under Section 12, you may refuse to share your information with any of these organizations by writing a letter of objection to the Chief Statistician and returning it with the completed questionnaire. Please specify the organizations with which you do not want to share your data.

For this survey, there are Section 12 agreements with provincial and territorial ministries of agriculture and with the Prince Edward Island Statistical agency.

For agreements with provincial and territorial government organizations, the shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

Record linkage

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

Security of emails and faxes

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

Note: Our online questionnaires are secure, there is no risk of data interception when responding to Statistics Canada online surveys.

As of August 2026, enhancements implemented by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) at land ports of entry enable Statistics Canada to incorporate information on travellers processed through the NEXUS Highway system into the Leading Indicator of International Arrivals to Canada.

The integration of NEXUS Highway traveller data will be phased in at all ports that receive NEXUS travellers from August 2026 to January 2027. As additional ports are integrated, coverage of international arrivals at land ports of entry with NEXUS travellers will continue to improve.

Users are advised to exercise caution when comparing data from the August 2026 leading indicator reference month onward with data from previous years, as the phased integration may affect historical comparability.

Ports which now include NEXUS travellers for the Leading indicator of international arrivals to Canada:  

• Lansdowne (NEXUS enhancement implemented August 17, 2026)

* All other land ports reported through FCLI do not have Nexus lanes, thus the implementation of the enhanced system does not affect coverage.

2021 Census of Agriculture saw record growth in bean production in Canada, making Canada the third largest pulse producer in the world.
