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. "Custom work and contract work" and "rental and leasing of farm machinery, equipment and vehicles" were separate entries for expenses in 2001; in 1996 they were grouped together. This change limits the comparability of the data between 2001 and previous censuses.

3. "All fuel expenses," "rental and leasing of land and buildings," "electricity, telephone and all other telecommunication services," and "all other expenses" were phrased differently in 1996. These changes limit the comparability of the data between 2001 and previous censuses.
