| Note: Data for 1996 and 2001 are not directly comparable because of changes to the injury question on the 2001 Census form. |
| 1. Figures may not add to totals due to rounding. Minor differences can be expected in figures appearing in other tables. |
| 2. Since 1991, the Census of Agriculture has allowed respondents to report up to three operators per farm. |
