Note: Data are reported on Census Day for the preceding calendar or fiscal year.
1. "Gross farm receipts" excludes forest products sold.
2. As in previous censuses, response errors have resulted in an under-reporting of total gross farm receipts. However, the data are comparable with previous censuses.
3. Due to response errors in previous censuses, the sales of forest products may have been overstated. Changes to this question for 2001 limit the comparability of the data to previous censuses.
