Today is Canada's Agriculture Day, and, to celebrate, Statistics Canada would like to thank all of the farmers who took the time out of their busy schedules to answer our surveys and the Census of Agriculture, which took place in May 2021.
The COVID-19 pandemic has posed numerous challenges for Canada's farmers. Data from the Census of Agriculture support evidence-based decision making and inform debate on policy issues which impact Canadians.
Soon, Statistics Canada will publish a number of products and services based on data from the 2021 Census of Agriculture that will allow decision and policy makers, industry associations and farmers themselves to get a sense of trends and conditions in their respective communities. The official release of Census of Agriculture farm and farm operator data is scheduled for May 11, 2022.
