Notes:
- Due to changes to the question on average time contribution to non-farm work for 2001, caution should be used when comparing the data to 1996. Data for that year exclude those operators who reported operating another business whereas 2001 data include them.
- Data are reported on Census Day for the preceding calendar or fiscal year. |
| 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. |
