The Census of Agriculture collects and disseminates a wide range of data on the agriculture industry, including the number and type of farms, farm operator characteristics, business operating arrangements, land management practices, crop areas, the number of livestock and poultry, farm capital, total operating expenses and receipts, and farm machinery and equipment. Census data provide a comprehensive picture of the agriculture industry across Canada every five years at the national, provincial and territorial levels, as well as at lower levels of geography.
