    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. As in 1996, the area of land on which manure was applied using each manure application method was under-reported. However, the 1996 and 2001 data are comparable.
