Just as the Census of Population counts every person and household in Canada, the Census of Agriculture counts every farm... The census asks the farmers about their crops and livestock, whether organic practices are followed, whether computers are used in their farm businesses, as well as a host of questions on land management practices such as irrigation, no-till, crop rotation, and other queries about their farming operations... As well as tallying the inventory of livestock, crops and other farm products, the census reports on the machinery used on farms, farm operating expenses, gross receipts and the value of land, buildings and machinery. 2, record 1, English, - Census%20of%20agriculture

Tout comme le Recensement de la population dénombre chaque personne et ménage au Canada, le Recensement de l'agriculture fait le compte de chaque exploitation agricole [...] Dans le cadre du recensement, on demande aux agriculteurs de fournir des renseignements sur leurs cultures et leur bétail. On veut également savoir s'ils utilisent l'informatique ou des techniques biologiques dans leur exploitation agricole [...] En plus de procéder à l'inventaire des produits agricoles, du bétail et des cultures, le recensement rend compte de la machinerie utilisée dans les exploitations agricoles, des dépenses d'exploitation de la ferme, des recettes brutes et de la valeur de la machinerie ainsi que des biens fonciers et immobiliers. 2, record 1, French, - Recensement%20de%20l%27agriculture

Farm expenditures on fertilizer are currently estimated by Statistics Canada employing the National Farm Survey and taxfiler data. Prior to the introduction of the National Farm Survey in 1983, the Agricultural Enumerative Survey and the Farm Enumerative Surveys were the chief sources of information. Before these surveys were introduced in the mid-1970s, consumption estimates were based on information from the Agricultural Census with appropriate adjustments for year-to-year variation in consumption. 1, record 3, English, - Agriculture%20Enumerative%20Survey

Les dépenses agricoles consacrées aux engrais sont actuellement évaluées à partir des données de l'Enquête nationale sur l'agriculture et des rapports d'impôt. Avant l'Enquête, en 1983, l'Enquête descriptive sur l'agriculture et les enquêtes descriptives sur les fermes étaient les principales sources d'information. Avant la réalisation de ces enquêtes vers le milieu des années 1970, la consommation était estimée à partir des informations du Recensement agricole, moyennant des modifications appropriées pour tenir compte des variations de la consommation d'une année à l'autre. 1, record 3, French, - Enqu%C3%AAte%20descriptive%20sur%20l%27agriculture

Statistique Canada. Le Registre des fermes consiste en une liste de toutes les exploitations agricoles et sert à de nombreuses enquêtes portant sur l'activité agricole. Il contient en outre de coordonnées à jour. L'information tirée du Recensement de l'agriculture de 2001 indique quelles exploitations embauchaient des employés. Les exploitations sans employés sont considérées comme étant hors du champ de l'enquête, seules les exploitations embauchant des employés étant incluses dans la base de sondage (exploitations admissibles). Les exploitations qui n'apparaissent pas dans le Recensement de l'agriculture de 2001 n'ont pas été incluses dans la base de sondage. 1, record 4, French, - Registre%20des%20fermes
