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 2, English, - Census%20of%20agriculture
