Agriculture-Population
Linkage data
In the fall of 2003, selected 2001
and historical data from the Census of Agriculture-Census of Population
Linkage databases are available at the Canada and provincial levels for
free. The socio-economic characteristics for farm operators include: age;
sex; marital status; mother tongue; highest level of schooling; net farm
income; as well as farm population counts and income profiles for census
farm families and households. No linkage databases were created for the
1966 and 1976 Censuses, so historical comparisons are not possible for
those years.

Canadian Agriculture
at a Glance
In the spring of 2004, Canadian
Agriculture at a Glance, a full-colour book of short, analytical articles
on the agriculture sector, is available for $49. Charts, tables, maps
and photos accompany the articles.

Custom and semi-custom
requests
The User Services Unit of the Census of Agriculture
can tailor products and tabulations to meet clients' special data requirements.
Custom tabulations allow users to create unique tables from the 2001 Census
of Agriculture and Agriculture-Population Linkage databases as well as
from the historical databases. Custom tabulations are available for the
1966 to 2001 Censuses. (Agriculture-Population Linkage databases were
not created for the 1966 and 1976 Censuses.) Subject to confidentiality
restrictions, custom tabulations can be produced for Census of Agriculture
standard geographic areas as well as user-defined areas. Semi-custom products
created from the standard tabulations are also available for clients interested
in print-on-demand versions of the May 15 and November 20, 2002 free data
releases or a provincial/regional component of the national farm data
CD-ROM.
