Introduction This publication presents farm and farm operator data taken from the 2011 Census of Agriculture, conducted on May 10, 2011. The data is specific to Alberta at the County, Municipality, and Improvement District level, which are equivalent to Census Consolidated Subdivisions. As background, on May 10, 2012, farm and farm operator data relating to the 2011 Census of Agriculture for Canada was released by Statistics Canada on its website: http://www.statcan.gc.ca. At the time of the release, data for all variables were presented at five levels of geography, national, provincial, Census Agriculture Region (CAR), Census Division (CD), and the Census Consolidated Subdivision (CCS). The latter three presented data at the sub-provincial level. The CCS is a grouping of adjacent census subdivisions. A census subdivision with a land area greater than 25 square kilometers can form a census consolidated subdivision of its own, while smaller census subdivisions are usually grouped with a larger census subdivision. The release by Statistics Canada of the CCS data for the 2011 Census of Agriculture will provide those working with lower levels of geography, such as County, Municipal District, etc. an excellent source of detailed data for comparison across Canadian provinces.

The 2011 Census of Agriculture data contained in this publication is for selected farm variables. The data is presented in a tabular format, by County, Municipality and Improvement District, which are subsequently summed to the seven Land-use regions (Lower Peace, Lower Athabasca, Upper Peace, Upper Athabasca, North Saskatchewan, Red Deer, and South Saskatchewan). Land-use regions were created by the Government of Alberta for the Land-use Framework. The seven regions are based on the major watersheds, with boundaries aligned to best fit with existing municipal boundaries and the natural regions. Also worth noting, is that data confidentiality (as designated by an “x”) at the municipal level, has resulted in some data at the regional levels being suppressed to maintain this confidentiality. Users are encouraged to refer to the section containing the Census definitions and notes when attempting to interpret the data. Also, for spatial data interpretation, please refer to the Alberta map with its regional boundaries, and municipalities classified by region. In an ongoing attempt to improve this publication, comments or questions should be directed to: Reynold N.

Census Definitions and Notes General Notes Conversion Factors 1 acre = 0.404 685 6 hectares 1 hectare = 2.471 05 acres 1 square foot = 0.092 903 04 square meters 1 square meter = 10.763 91 square feet 1 kilogram = 2.204 622 6 pounds 1 pound = 0.453 592 4 kilograms

Boundary Changes There have been significant refinements in the geographic assignment of agricultural operations and changes in Census Consolidated Subdivision boundaries between 2011 and 2006 making data for Census Consolidated Subdivisions for these two censuses not comparable.

Geographic Amalgamations Due to confidentiality constraints, agricultural data for subdivisions with very few farms were combined with data from adjacent areas. Following are the amalgamations for the 2011 Census of Agriculture: Census 2011 Amalgamations &

Headquarters Rule Many agricultural operations in Canada are composed of numerous parcels of land in a number of locations. These different locations are often situated in several geographic areas (such as townships or counties). In these situations, the “headquarters rule” assigns all data collected for the agricultural operation to the geographic area where the farm headquarters is located.

Incomplete Enumeration of Indian Reserves and Indian Settlements On some Indian reserves and Indian settlements in the 2011 Census, enumeration was not permitted or was interrupted before it could be completed. These geographic areas are called incompletely enumerated Indian reserves and Indian settlements. Data for census farms located on these incompletely enumerated reserves and settlements are therefore not available. The impact of the missing data is very small for higher-level geographic areas (Canada, provinces, and census agricultural regions). However, the impact is more significant for those smaller areas (census divisions and census consolidated subdivisions) in which the affected reserves and settlements are located. For a listing of the names and locations of the incompletely enumerated Indian reserves and Indian settlements, please refer to the Statistics Canada web site at http://www.statcan.ca.

Rounding Totals may not equal the sum of their parts due to the use of conversion factors or the rounding of fractions to whole numbers. All farm operator data, including totals, were randomly rounded either up or down to a multiple of 5.

v

What’s new for 2011? The 2011 Census of Agriculture questionnaire was modified slightly from 2006. Some highlights are:

Data Collection In 2011, all Census of Agriculture forms were delivered to households and farm operations by Canada Post.

Farm Operator Data In 2011, farm operator data is added to this publication, as Statistics Canada released farm operator data at the same time as farm data.

Business Number For 2011, a question was added requesting the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) Business Number for the agriculture operation.

Crop Residue In 2011, a question was added to request the area from which crop residue was baled. This is an environmentally relevant question, as crop residue management affects erosion rates, contamination of surface and groundwater, greenhouse gas emissions, and carbon sequestration.

Eggs For egg production, the two new variables Table eggs and Hatching eggs were added in 2011.

Internet In 2011, Access to high-speed Internet was added in order to evaluate the accessibility of respondents to services provided by Internet.

Land Use The variable Total all other land reported in 2006 was dropped for 2011.

Land Tenure For 2011, two new variables Used through Other Arrangements and Total Area Used by Others were added to this publication. Total Area of Farm is the difference between the sum of Area Owned, Leased from Government, Rented/Leased from Others, Crop Shared from Others, and Used through Other Arrangements minus Total Area Used by Others.

Pigs In 2011, Nursing pigs and Weaner pigs are reported separately, whereas in 2006 they were grouped together.

Other Livestock Rabbits was added as a separate variable in 2011. Fox has been removed as a separate variable.

Manure and Manure Application In 2011, the option Applied on land that was rented to others was added to the question on how manure was used or produced. The option Manure spread naturally by grazing livestock was added to the question on application methods, Liquid manure applied by irrigation was removed.

Organic In 2011, the category Organic but not certified was removed in order to reflect the new regulations on the use of the term "organic". Herbs, spices or garlic was added as a variable in 2011, after having been reported under other organic products in 2006.

Paid work In 2011, number of employees working full or part time was added in order to provide a measure of the number of people working on farms.

Practices and Land Features Two options, including In-field winter grazing or feeding and Nutrient management planning, were added in 2011.

vi

Deleted Topics Farm-related injuries In 2011, the topic on farm-related injuries was removed because better quality data are available from alternative sources.

Definitions All Other Land All other land includes land on which farm buildings, barnyards, lanes, home gardens, greenhouses and mushroom houses are located; idle land; woodlots; sugarbush; tree windbreaks; bogs; marshes; sloughs; etc. In 2011, land that was reported as “too wet to seed” was classified as “other land” instead of cropland or summerfallow.

Buffer Zones Around Water Bodies

Areas along natural watercourses left with natural vegetation (unfarmed) and designed to prevent erosion, especially in stream channels that become wider and shallower, to preserve wildlife habitat and fish stocks, and protect water quality for livestock and people. Also referred to as riparian areas, i.e., land bordering a stream or body of water.

Corn for Silage Corn in which the entire plant, including the cob, is chopped up and stored in upright silos, bunker silos or plastic bags, and used for animal feed.

Corporation An incorporated business registered with a provincial or federal agency as a legal entity separate from the owner. Family corporation: an incorporated business operation where an individual or members of a family own the majority of the corporation shares. Non-family corporation: an incorporated business operation where a group of unrelated individuals owns the majority of the corporation shares.

Crop Rotation Changing the type of crop grown on the same land from year to year or periodically to control weeds, insects, disease, and replenish soil nutrients or reduce erosion.

Crop Share An agreement between the landowner and the person operating the land (the share cropper), in which the crop is shared rather than cash rent being paid. Cropping expenses may or may not be shared. The person who does not own the land but operates it reports any areas being crop-shared.

Custom Work Work done somewhere other than on the agricultural operator's operation using his/her equipment in return for money or other payment. Includes custom plowing or combining, trucking, drying grain, cleaning seed, spreading fertilizer, spraying crops, cleaning feedlots, etc.

Farm (Census Farm) Over time, the definition of a farm has changed. In 1971 and 1976, a farm was defined as an agricultural holding of one acre or more with sales of agricultural products of $50 or more. In 1981 and 1986, the minimum sales requirement was increased to $250. In 1991, a farm was referred to as a census farm, ranch or other agricultural holding which produces at least one of the following products intended for sale (no minimum sales requirement): crops, livestock, poultry, animal products, greenhouse or nursery products, mushrooms, sod or honey. The 1996 definition was expanded to include commercial poultry hatcheries and operations that produced only Christmas trees. Since 1996, a census farm has been defined as an agricultural operation that produces at least one of the following products intended for sale: crops (hay, field crops, tree fruits or nuts, berries or grapes, vegetables, seed); livestock (cattle, pigs, sheep, horses, game animals, other livestock); poultry (hens, chickens, turkeys, chicks, game birds, other poultry, commercial poultry hatcheries); animal products (milk or cream, eggs, wool, furs, meat); or other agricultural products (Christmas trees, greenhouse or nursery products, mushrooms, sod, honey, maple syrup products).

Farm Capital Farm capital includes the value of all farmland, buildings, farm machinery and equipment (including passenger vehicles used in the farm business) and livestock and poultry. Respondents report the value of their land, buildings, farm machinery and equipment as of Census Day. Values for livestock and poultry inventories reported in the census are calculated using data on average farm prices for the various types of livestock and poultry. Farm capital does not include the value of crops in the field or in storage, or farm inputs on hand, such as fertilizer and seed.

vii

Farm Operators Since 1991 farm operators have been defined as those persons responsible for the day-to-day management and/or financial decisions made in the operation of a farm or an agricultural operation. Up to three farm operators could be reported per farm, including owners, tenants or hired managers, if they are responsible for management decisions for particular aspects of the farm, such as planting and harvesting, capital purchases, and marketing. Prior to the 1991 Census of Agriculture, the farm operator referred to only one person responsible for the day-to-day decisions made in running an agricultural operation. Farm operator data relating to the 2011 Census of Agriculture are also being provided with farm data in this publication. Farm operator data comprises sex, age, residence status as well as farm and non-farm work measured by average number of hours per week. Farm Operating Expenses Any cost associated with producing crops or livestock, except the purchase of land, buildings or equipment. Includes the cost of seed, feed, fuel, fertilizers, etc. Refers to gross operating expenses of the operation in the previous calendar year, or for the last complete accounting (fiscal) year, and excludes depreciation and capital cost allowance.

Farm Type For this publication, each census farm is classified according to the predominant type of production. This is done by estimating the potential receipts from the inventories of crops and livestock reported on the questionnaire and determining the product or group of products that make up the majority of the estimated receipts. The commodity or group of commodities that account for 51 per cent or more of the total potential receipts determines the farm type. Farm types are derived based on the 2007 North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS).

Dairy cattle and milk production comprises establishments primarily engaged in milking dairy cattle. Examples include fluid and raw cream production, fluid and raw milk production, etc.

Beef cattle ranching and farming comprises establishments primarily engaged in raising and fattening cattle. Examples include beef cattle feedlots, beef cattle ranching, dairy heifer replacement production, etc. Hog and pig farming comprises establishments primarily engaged in raising hogs and pigs. Examples include boar raising, hog feedlot, hog raising, pig farming, swine farrow to finish farming, weanling pigs raising, etc.

Poultry and egg production comprises establishments primarily engaged in breeding, hatching and raising poultry for meat or egg production. Examples include chicken egg farms, started pullet farming, broiler chicken farming, capon farming, fryer chicken raising,

turkey farming, turkey egg production, poultry hatcheries, duck farming, emu farming, geese farming, etc.

Sheep and goat farming comprises establishments primarily engaged in raising sheep and goats, and feeding or fattening lambs. Examples include lamb feedlot, lamb raising, sheep raising, sheep farming, wool production farming, goat farming, raw fluid goat’s milk production, mohair farming, etc.

Other animal production comprises establishments, not classified to any other industry group, primarily engaged in raising animals, such as bees, horses and other equines, rabbits and other fur-bearing animals, llamas, deer and the production of animal products, such as honey and other bee products, are also included. Establishments primarily engaged in raising a combination of animals, classified in other industries with no one predominating, are also included in this industry group. Wheat farming comprises establishments primarily engaged in growing wheat, for example spring, winter and durum wheat growing. Oilseed and grain (except wheat) farming comprises establishments primarily engaged in growing oilseeds and grains. Establishments primarily engaged in producing seeds are classified in the appropriate crop industry. Examples include soybean farming, oats farming, barley farming, mixed grains farming, rye faming, canola farming, flaxseed farming, dry field beans growing, dry field peas growing, forage seed farming, etc. Fruit and tree nut farming comprises establishments primarily engaged in growing fruit and nuts, for example saskatoon berry farming, strawberries farming, raspberries farming, apples faming and other fruits, berries and nuts farming.

Vegetable and melon farming comprises establishments primarily engaged in growing vegetables and melons, vegetable and melon seed production and vegetable and melon bedding plant production. Examples include potato farming, sweet potato farming, cucumber farming, green pea farming, green bean farming, cabbage farming, etc.

Greenhouse, nursery and floriculture production comprises establishments primarily engaged in growing crops of any kind under cover, growing nursery crops and growing flowers. Examples include food crops grown under cover, herbs grown under cover, vegetables grown under cover, mushroom farming, nursery and floriculture products grown under cover or in open fields, etc. Other crop farming comprises establishments, not classified to any other industry group, primarily engaged in growing crops, such as sugarbeets, hay, hay and grass seeds, etc. Combination crop farming and the gathering of maple sap are included in this industry group.

Since 2011, the previously used historical farm type classification based on the Standard Industrial Classifications (SIC) is no longer used for Census of Agriculture.

viii

Field Crops Includes hay, alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures, wheat (spring, durum, winter), oats, barley, mixed grains, corn (grain and silage), rye (fall and spring), canola, soybeans, flaxseed, dry field peas, chick peas, lentils, beans (dry white and other beans), forage seed, potatoes, mustard seed, sunflowers, canary seed, ginseng, buckwheat, sugar beets, caraway seed, triticale, and other field crops such as hemp, spelt, coriander and other spices.

Fodder Crops Includes alfalfa, barley, clover, corn and sorghum and any other crops in which the whole plant is used to feed cattle, sheep and other ruminants.

Forage Seed Seed from fodder crops grown commercially for seed. Includes timothy, fescue, clover, alfalfa, wheat grass, and turf grass seed.

Fungicide A chemical used to control, suppress or kill fungi that severely interrupt normal plant growth.

Green Crops for Plough Down Young green plants, such as buckwheat and red clover, incorporated into the soil to improve fertility. Usually grown only to improve the soil. Plowing down green crops: when a crop such as winter wheat, fall rye, buckwheat or red clover is planted but "plowed under" before it can be harvested.

Gross Farm Receipts

Farm receipts measure the gross revenue generated by agricultural holdings. They are not a direct measure of profit since operating expenses have not been deducted. The data for receipts were collected for the previous calendar year, or for the last complete accounting (fiscal) year. Gross Receipts include:

receipts from all agricultural products sold marketing board payments received program and rebate payments received GST refunds received dividends received from co-operatives receipts from maple syrup and Christmas tree sales custom work and all other farm receipts

Gross Receipts do not include: receipts from the sale of capital items (e.g. land, buildings or machinery) receipts from the sale of goods bought only for retail sales receipts from the sale of forest products (firewood, pulpwood, logs, fence posts,

pilings and standing timber) NOTE: Farm receipts data from the Census of Agriculture are not directly comparable with other Statistics Canada sources such as the Taxation Data Program (TDP), the Farm Financial Survey (FFS) and the Agriculture Economics Statistics (AES) series, which are affected by differences in concepts, methods and coverage.

Herbicide A chemical used to control, suppress, or kill plants or severely interrupt their normal growth.

Hired Paid Labour Paid farm work done on the operation during the previous calendar year, either on a year-round, or seasonal or temporary basis. This includes work done by family members who were paid a salary or wage. The total value of wages and salaries paid are included in Farm Operating Expenses.

Insecticide A substance or mixture of substances intended to prevent, destroy, repel or minimize the effect of any insects that may be present.

Interest Expenses Refers to interest on operating debt and on all other debts (e.g., machinery or mortgage debt) for the previous calendar year or for the last complete accounting (fiscal) year. Interest expenses do not include payment of principal or amount of debt outstanding. Interest expenses as a percent of total expenses is used as a proxy for debt since actual debt levels are not reported in the census. Land Use The sum of the following classifications of land use is equal to the total land area of Alberta farms:

Total Land in Crops: all areas reported for field crops, including grains and oilseeds, fruits, vegetables, nursery products and sod.

Summerfallow: land on which no crops will be grown during the year but on which weeds will be controlled by cultivation or application of chemicals.

ix

Tame or Seeded Pasture: land that has been cultivated and seeded, or drained, irrigated, fertilized or controlled for brush or weeds; does not include areas to be harvested for hay, silage or seed. Natural Land for Pasture: areas used for pasture that have not been cultivated and seeded, drained, irrigated or fertilized. Christmas Trees, Woodlands and Wetlands: area of Christmas tree grown for sale include naturally established or planted areas, regardless of stage of growth, that are pruned or managed with the use of fertilizer or pesticides. Woodlands include non-workable land such as woodlots, sugarbushes, tree windbreaks and bush that is not used for grazing. Wetlands include ponds, bogs, marshes, sloughs, etc.

All other land: land on which farm buildings, barnyards, lanes, home gardens, greenhouses and mushroom houses are located; idle land. In 2011, land that was reported as “too wet to seed” has been classified as “other land” instead of cropland or summerfallow.

Livestock Inventory Includes all animals on the farm, regardless of ownership, and any animals owned but pastured on a community pasture, grazing co-op or public land. Livestock on farms exclude animals owned but kept on a farm, ranch, or feedlot operated by someone else. Livestock data from the census are used as the basis for annual estimates and for estimating inventories, production and future supplies of animals and animal products for domestic consumption and export. Farmers use census estimates to make production and marketing decisions while government departments, private companies and farm media use census information in market analysis and formulation of agricultural outlooks.

Natural Land for Pasture Areas used for pasture that have not been cultivated and seeded, or drained, irrigated or fertilized. Includes native pasture/hay (indigenous grass suitable as feed for livestock and game); rangeland (land with natural plant cover, principally native grasses or shrubs valuable for forage); grazeable bush (forest land and bushy areas used for grazing, not land cultivated for crops or with dense forest), etc.

Non-workable land Includes land such as natural pastureland, woodland, wetlands, ponds, bogs, sloughs, barnyards, lanes, and land on which farm buildings are located.

Organic Certifying Agency This is a co-operative association or incorporated entity with the authority to give accreditation to organic agricultural operators. Organic certification is based on the Organic Agriculture Standard put out by the Canadian General Standards Board.

Organic Products Products from farm operations operated according to a set of organic production principles.

Certified organic product: an agricultural product that meets organic standards at each production/processing stage and is certified by a recognized certifying agency. Transitional: commonly used by certifying agencies to indicate fields in transition to becoming certified organic. It means the operator is actively adopting practices that comply with organic standards. Certification can take up to four years

Paid on a Year-Round Basis An employee who is paid on a year-round basis is employed either part time or full time twelve months of the year.

Paid on a Seasonal or Temporary Basis An employee who is paid on a seasonal or temporary basis is employed part time or full time for only part of the year. Partnership With or Without a Written Agreement A partnership with or without a written agreement is an agricultural operation where the business is owned and operated jointly by two or more persons with or without a written agreement and where risks and profits are shared. The partners may or may not own the land, buildings, machinery, etc.

Pesticide Any chemical used for controlling, suppressing or killing insects, weeds or fungi. Includes fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides.

Present Market Value The present market value is the amount of money a property should bring in if it were sold in today’s market.

Rotational Grazing A practice allowing forages to recover after each grazing period. Includes alternating two or more pastures at regular intervals or using temporary fences within pastures to prevent overgrazing.

x

Silage A crop, such as corn and sorghum or other green crops with sufficient moisture, that has been preserved by partial fermentation in a silo, pit, stack, plastic bag or wrap for animal feed, and is usually chopped. Often called "hay crop silage" or "haylage" when made from forage crops such as hay or alfalfa. This is also referred to as ensilage and baleage.

Sole Proprietorship Operation A sole proprietorship operation is an agricultural operation where one person owns the non-incorporated business. The person who owns the business may or may not own the land, buildings, machinery, etc. There may be multiple operators (persons responsible for the day-to-day management decisions) such as husband and wife, father and son, etc.

Summerfallow Land Involves keeping normally cultivated land free of vegetation throughout one growing season by cultivating (plowing, discing, etc.) and/or applying chemicals to destroy weeds, insects and soil-borne diseases and allow a buildup of soil moisture reserves for the next crop year. Includes chemfallow, tillage, and/or a combination of chemical and tillage weed control on the same land.

Tame or Seeded Pasture

Grazeable land that has been improved from its natural state by seeding, draining, irrigating, fertilizing or weed control. Does not include areas of land harvested for hay, silage or seed.

Tillage

Tillage is the practice of working the soil for the purpose of bringing about the more favourable conditions for plant growth. Conventional tillage incorporates most of the crop residue into the soil while minimum-till retains most of the crop residue on the surface. No-till or zero-till includes direct seeding into stubble or sod.

Value of Farm Land and Buildings

Refers to the present market value of land and buildings on the operation on Census Day. It includes the value of all houses that are part of the operation; the value of fixed equipment/machinery such as bulk tanks, farrowing pens, etc., found in farm buildings on the operation. It includes land and buildings that are rented or leased from others, but does not include the value of any land and buildings rented or leased to others.

Value of Farm Machinery and Equipment

Refers to the present market value of all farm machinery and equipment that was owned or leased on Census Day.

Windbreaks or Shelterbelts

Rows of natural or planted trees or hedges along field edges that stop prevailing winds from eroding the soil. Used more frequently in Western Canada where farmland is more susceptible to wind action and where trapping snow for moisture is important.

Winter Cover Crops

A crop, such as red clover, fall rye, etc., seeded in the fall to protect the soil from water and wind erosion during the winter and from heavy rains and run-off in the spring.

Woodlands and Wetlands Woodlands include non-workable land such as woodlots, sugarbushes, tree windbreaks and bush that is not used for grazing. Wetlands include ponds, bogs, marshes, sloughs, etc.

Workable Land All arable or cleared lands including area in hay, crops, summerfallow, and tame or seeded pasture land.

Notes on 2011 Census Data

Wheat

Spring Wheat (including utility and prairie spring wheats).

Winter Wheat/Fall Rye

Winter wheat or fall rye to be harvested in 2011.

Vegetables Grown for Sale

Excludes greenhouse vegetables.

Livestock

Chicks and poultry hatched refers to those hatched in commercial poultry hatcheries in the calendar year prior to the census.

Poultry production (broilers, roasters and Cornish) and Egg production (table eggs and hatching eggs) refers to production for the calendar year prior to the census.

Other poultry includes geese, ducks, roosters, ostriches, emus, pheasants, quail, wild turkey, etc.

xi

Herbicide/Insecticide/Fungicide Use

The area of land that has been treated with herbicides, insecticides and fungicides is under-reported. However, the data are comparable with previous censuses.

Operators

Up to three operators can be reported per farm. This is a count of distinct operators; hence, operators of two or more separate farms are included only once in the total.

Tenure

Includes land used through arrangements other than renting, leasing or crop sharing, such as land trading or rent free.
