Purpose of this survey

The purpose of this survey is to collect reliable and up-to-date information on grains and oilseeds in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. These data are used to calculate farm cash receipts and are used by producers, organizations, government departments, and others for policy and decision making. Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.

Please provide the quantity and the amount you paid to producers for any grains and oilseeds you purchased during the above month. Only report grains that you purchased directly from farmers. Do not report any grains that you purchased from other brokers or mills. Please report your purchases as to the province that the grain was grown in.

In compiling average provincial prices to producers, your data will be aggregated with data received from other companies to protect confidentiality.

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

  • August 1, 2014 to July 31, 2015
  • October 1, 2014 to September 30, 2015

  • 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.

  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.

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.
