    Footnotes:
    1. Due to confidentiality constraints, the data for one or more adjacent geographic areas having very few farms have been combined with the data from this census consolidated subdivision or census division. For the names of the geographic areas included in this amalgamation and the number of farms in them, click on Geographic area amalgamations.

    2. Due to response errors in 1996, the area of land irrigated was overstated in Quebec. These errors limit the comparability of the data between 1996 and 2001.

    3. As in previous censuses, the area of land on which herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and commercial fertilizer were applied is under-reported. However, the data are comparable with previous censuses.
