Executive summary

The purpose of the Census of Agriculture (CEAG) is to provide a comprehensive and integrated profile of the physical, economic, social and environmental aspects of Canada’s agriculture industry. The CEAG is mandated under the Statistics Act to be conducted every five years. It collects data on Canada’s primary agriculture industry, with content on topics such as number of farms and farm operators, farm area, land management practices, agricultural commodities, and total operating expenses and revenues. The collected data are used to inform decisions about business management strategies and to develop, administer and evaluate agricultural policies that directly affect farmers and rural communities.

Statistics Canada conducts an extensive consultation and qualitative testing process before each CEAG to ensure that it reflects changes in Canada’s agriculture industry. For the 2026 CEAG, Statistics Canada’s priorities are to ensure that collected data remain relevant to the agriculture industry, while improving the overall cost effectiveness of the CEAG and reducing response burden.

In the fall of 2022, Statistics Canada conducted a national consultation process with data users, including federal government departments and provincial ministries, agricultural associations, and educational institutions. The purpose was to gather input and justifications for new and existing content on the CEAG questionnaire. Data users were asked to prepare their submissions based on a series of key considerations, including program and policy needs, response burden, data quality, costs, research, historical comparability, privacy, operational considerations, and availability of alternative data sources. This report provides a detailed overview of the consultation and submission analysis processes.

A total of 539 invitations were sent to data users for their input, and they were encouraged to forward the invitation to any other individuals or organizations that would be interested in participating in the consultation process. Data users had the opportunity to submit their feedback by completing the 2026 Census of Agriculture submission form (Appendix A). In total, 187 participants attended CEAG consultation workshops, and 58 forms were submitted for consideration.

All submissions were examined as part of a rigorous, multi-phase analysis and testing process. Through this process, 847 comments were identified. Approximately two-thirds of these were justifications for the importance and relevance of keeping specific CEAG content for data users or general comments. The remaining third comprised recommendations to change or add new questions (Appendix B). All recommendations were analyzed to determine their suitability for further testing. This analysis informed content changes that were introduced ahead of qualitative testing in 2023 and 2024.

The qualitative testing process for the 2026 CEAG questionnaire included two phases of modular testing and the 2024 Census of Agriculture Test with 10,000 respondents. After each step of testing, the prospective 2026 CEAG questionnaire underwent vigorous analysis to determine its suitability for subsequent testing. Test findings will inform content recommendations for the 2026 CEAG questionnaire.

Background

Statistics Canada conducts the Census of Agriculture (CEAG) to provide a comprehensive profile of the physical, economic, social and environmental aspects of Canada’s agriculture industry. The CEAG is mandated under the Statistics Act and is instrumental in supporting public and private decision making, research, and analysis in areas of concern to farmers and the Canadian agricultural sector. To this end, CEAG questionnaire content is considered each cycle to ensure that data collected are relevant and continue to reflect an evolving industry.

Before each CEAG, Statistics Canada conducts an extensive consultation process that allows data users and interested parties across Canada to share their views on how they use census data and the type of information they believe should be available from the census.

For the 2026 CEAG, the main priorities are to improve cost effectiveness and reduce response burden while remaining relevant and responsive to the information needs of governments, agricultural operators, farm organizations, data users and Canadians. As part of this process, efforts were made to reduce the number of questions on the final version of the electronic questionnaire (EQ). Another effort to reduce response burden for the 2026 CEAG questionnaire is the investigation of the full or partial replacement of questions using high-quality administrative data sources.

The 2026 CEAG content consultation process asked data users to provide input on the 2021 CEAG questionnaire and data. Submissions were examined as part of a rigorous, multi-phase analysis and testing process based on the following key considerations: program and policy needs, response burden, data quality, costs, research, historical comparability, privacy, operational considerations, and the availability of alternative data sources.

Overall, when making decisions about whether to keep, remove or add content for the 2026 CEAG questionnaire, Statistics Canada aimed to maintain data quality standards while reducing response burden.

Census of Agriculture mandate and objectives

Under section 20 of the Statistics Act, Statistics Canada is responsible for conducting a CEAG every 10 years in years that end in 1, and every 10 years in years that end in 6, unless the Governor in Council otherwise directs in respect of any such year.

The objectives of the CEAG are to:

• provide statistical information and analysis about Canada’s economic and social structure to develop and evaluate public policies and programs, and improve public and private decision-making for the benefit of all Canadians
• promote sound statistical standards and practices by
  • using common concepts and classifications to provide better quality data
  • working with federal departments and the provinces and territories to achieve greater efficiency in data collection and less duplication
  • using administrative data to validate information or replace survey data
  • improving statistical methods and systems through research studies and projects
• produce critical information to manage federal and provincial government expenditures in support of the agricultural sector
• improve Statistics Canada’s Business Register—the common frame for the surveys and censuses that produce economic statistics
• produce small-area data that are critical to industry structural analysis, crisis management, environmental programs, etc.
• provide measurement of rare or emerging commodities that may not be captured in other surveys in the Agriculture Statistics Program
• produce data that can be used for benchmarking and to reconcile common statistics and indicators in the Agriculture Statistics Program.

2026 Census of Agriculture content consultation process

In June 2022, a total of 539 letters were sent to provincial and federal government departments, agricultural organizations and groups, and educational institutions, inviting them to participate in CEAG’s content consultation process. Invitees who had responded with interest in participating in the content consultation process received the 2026 Census of Agriculture submission form (Appendix A), along with instructions to participate in the workshops. Data users who registered to participate in a workshop received a second wave of letters in early August 2022 with workshop details. Table 1 provides a breakdown of workshop attendees and submissions by organization type.

2026 Census of Agriculture content consultation workshops

CEAG workshops were attended by 187 data users. Statistics Canada held 12 virtual workshops to obtain feedback from data users. Data users from federal and provincial government departments represented 51.8% of workshop attendees.

The purpose of these workshops was to:

• engage with data users
• explain the questionnaire’s content assessment process
• obtain feedback on the content of the 2021 CEAG questionnaire
• gain a better understanding of data users’ needs and receive justification for keeping secondary content questions in the 2026 CEAG questionnaire.

At the end of each workshop, attendees were invited to provide feedback through a workshop evaluation form. This form requested feedback about the effectiveness of the workshops and their appropriateness as a forum for providing feedback on the CEAG.

The evaluation forms submitted by attendees confirmed that these workshops were a good forum to discuss their data needs.

2026 Census of Agriculture submission form

The 2026 Census of Agriculture submission form (Appendix A) was created to allow data users to provide written feedback and explain their data needs. The form was provided to any data user who registered to participate in the consultation process. Statistics Canada also asked users to forward the submission form to any other users or organizations they thought might be interested in participating.

For the purposes of the submission form, the modules in the CEAG questionnaire were divided into two categories: core content and secondary content. Core content is the minimum content required to sustain Statistics Canada’s agriculture program and is expected to remain intact. Secondary content makes up the remainder of the questionnaire. It evolves based on data users’ changing needs and is subject to change or removal. Here is the list of modules by content category:

Core content

• Business and contact information
• Agricultural operators
• Main farm location
• Unit of measure
• Area of land and land use
• Commodities
• Market value of land and buildings
• Farm vehicles, machinery and equipment (total only)
• Total operating revenues and expenses
  • Totals on questionnaire
  • Details from tax data.

Secondary content

• Paid labour
• Organic products
• Summerfallow
• Tillage and seeding practices
• Land practices and features
• Crop residue
• Inputs and manure
• Irrigation
• Technologies
• Renewable energy
• Farm vehicles, machinery and equipment (details)
• Direct sales
• Succession plan
• Operating arrangement from tax data.

The 2026 Census of Agriculture submission form was delivered to data users as a fillable PDF and contained both multiple-choice and open-ended questions on

• data uses
• the importance of each module in the CEAG questionnaire in providing the data needed
• justifications for core and secondary content in terms of data needs
• data gaps in the CEAG questionnaire
• administrative data sources.

Overall, CEAG received 58 submission forms from data users by the October 14, 2022 deadline.^Note Organizations were encouraged to combine their data needs and requests into one submission form to reduce the number of duplicate submissions from each organization.

Data needs and uses

Users were asked to report their need for each questionnaire module. The following definitions were provided to data users:

• Essential means that it is required to fulfill a legislative requirement or the needs of a regulation, policy or program.
• Some need means that it could be used to fulfill the needs of a regulation, policy, program or other application.
• No need means that it is not used.

Data provided by the CEAG were predominantly identified as essential or of some need by data users. The majority of CEAG data users noted that data are essential or of some need. In particular, area of land and land use questions were identified as essential or of some need to 98.0% of users, with only 2.0% indicating that they had no need for these questions or data. By contrast, 81.6% of data users indicated that the question on succession plan was essential or of some need, with 18.4% indicating they had no need.^Note See Table 2 for data users’ needs by CEAG topic.

The top two uses of CEAG data are for the analysis of trends in agriculture or research and the development of policies, regulations and programs. Users were given a list of four general uses for CEAG data, with the option to add additional uses that were not listed. See Chart 1 for the distribution of responses.

In addition to rating the relevance of core content and identifying key uses for data, data users were asked to provide

• a list of relevant core content and their uses
• rationales for keeping secondary content under consideration for removal from the CEAG
• data gaps in the CEAG questionnaire
• alternative data sources for the identified gaps.

User content submissions related to core content justifications, rationales for keeping secondary content and data gaps were broken down by modules and question numbers, while information about alternative data sources was kept for future reference. Once the submissions had been divided into the various CEAG questionnaire modules, they were reviewed by CEAG analysts and grouped into categories based on submission type. Figure 1 outlines feedback by module and type of feedback.

The inputs and manure module received the highest number of comments. The majority (58.8%) of user content submissions were justifications for keeping specific content in the CEAG questionnaire. The remaining submissions were suggestions for either new questions (18.5%), changes to existing questions (13.6%) or contained general comments (9.1%) (Appendix B).

Content evaluation method

User content submissions identified as suggesting changes or proposing new questions went through an exhaustive and systematic analysis based on key criteria developed by Statistics Canada (Appendix C). Content submissions categorized as justifications of need or general comments were retained for use by Statistics Canada to determine whether secondary content would be kept or modified.

The key criteria provided an efficient, structured and standardized way to analyze users’ comments and suggestions. The key criteria included the following questions:

• Is this suggestion critical to existing agriculture-related programs and policies?
• Did multiple organizations request this change?
• Do other countries ask this question?
• Is the size of the data set suggested in terms of farm count or total farm area small?
• Is this topic of national interest?
• Is the information required to be cross-classified with other questions from the questionnaire?
• Are there any quality alternative sources available?
• Will this suggestion affect historical comparability?
• Is the collection of these data every five years sufficient?
• Can farmers easily answer this question?
• Will farmers be willing to answer this question?
• Has this question tested negatively before and is it likely to do so again?
• Can they be easily targeted on the Business Register using our new farm definition?
• Are data needed at sub-provincial levels?

The key criteria were assigned a score^Note using a stringent methodology that considered the relative importance in determining the content for the 2026 CEAG questionnaire. Factors considered when assigning the score included whether

• the requested data were relevant to agricultural policies
• the topic was of national interest
• there was a demand for the requested data
• the requested data were sensitive
• the data were disseminated frequently enough
• the data were needed at the sub-provincial level.

Under the direction and review of the CEAG program manager, two data analysts worked independently to review and score proposed changes. A structured guide was used to ensure that the final decision was accurate and appropriate before finalizing the combined score for each proposed change. A third review for cases with large gaps between scores was conducted by the program manager, in consultation with the Census of Agriculture Steering Committee, to finalize the scores of these cases.

These scores guided decisions for inclusion in the 2026 CEAG questionnaire, with all suggestions grouped into one of the following three categories:

1. Suitable for the CEAG and qualified for Questionnaire Design Resource Centre (QDRC) testing—the suggestion or new question met most of the key criteria (for example, if a suggestion was relevant, of national scope, easy for farmers to answer and was requested by multiple organizations, it would be deemed worthy of further testing).
2. Not suitable for the CEAG, but may be suitable for other Statistics Canada agriculture surveys—the suggestion or new question may represent an important data need, but the CEAG is not the preferable collection method for it (this category could include data gaps where data are needed more frequently than every five years, or data gaps that are too specific to be included in the CEAG).
3. Not suitable for the CEAG or other Statistics Canada agriculture surveys—the suggestions or new questions do not meet enough key criteria to qualify for further testing (for example, content submissions that are too detailed, not relevant to the CEAG, or not within the mandate of the CEAG or Statistics Canada).

The data users submitted 157 suggestions that were categorized as new questions. Of the new questions suggested, 75.9% were deemed to be suitable for the CEAG or other Statistics Canada agriculture surveys, while 24.1% were determined to be unsuitable for both the CEAG and other Statistics Canada surveys, based on the CEAG’s key criteria.

Additionally, a total of 115 comments were categorized as suggested changes to existing CEAG questions; 58.3% of the suggested changes to questions were identified as suitable for the CEAG or other Statistics Canada agricultural surveys, while 41.7% were identified as unsuitable for both the CEAG and other Statistics Canada surveys.^Note

Chart 2 provides a breakdown of the suitability of proposed changes and suggested new questions. Tables D.1 and D.2 in Appendix D provide a full breakdown of suggestions by topic, grouped by core and secondary content, and the decisions made about their suitability for modular testing.

Modular testing

In accordance with the Policy on the Development of Questionnaires, Statistics Canada’s QDRC conducted qualitative testing, also known as modular testing, with farm operators. In 2023, testing was completed in two phases, where changes to the 2021 CEAG questionnaire and help text were presented to respondents to gather their feedback.

The purpose of this testing was to

• test the cognitive process of respondents when answering questions (i.e., their understanding of concepts, terminology and response categories)
• test respondents’ ability and willingness to answer the questions
• test the functionality and usability of some questions in the EQ
• test the flow of questions with respondents
• obtain feedback from respondents on their overall experience of responding via an electronic version of the questionnaire.

The qualitative testing was conducted on a one-to-one basis with farmers. Participants recruited for testing were prioritized based on the proposed changes to the questionnaire’s content, while ensuring that there were enough diverse farms included to cover all elements of the questionnaire. Statistics Canada employees recruited operators of farms of various sizes, types and operating arrangements, and with the specific attributes that needed to be tested (e.g., farms with renewable energy or mushrooms). Both French and English versions of the questionnaire were tested.  

Modular test—Phase 1

The first phase of testing took place in January 2023. A total of 59 interviews were completed virtually via Microsoft Teams. In this phase of testing, CEAG tested changes to the English and French EQs, including changes to the help text.

Table 3 outlines the testing priorities for the first phase of modular testing.

The results from this phase of testing were used to determine whether the new content was suitable for further testing (Phase 2) or whether it was unsuitable for the CEAG (e.g., the question was difficult for farmers to understand or unduly increased response burden). Changes to new content were made as required before the second phase of testing.

Modular test—Phase 2

The second phase of testing took place in June 2023. A total of 79 interviews were conducted during this phase, where both the English and French versions of the EQ were tested. By Phase 2, much of the new content had already been integrated into the EQ.

Table 4 outlines the testing priorities for the second phase of modular testing.

Interpretation of the modular test results

If new content tested well in the second phase, it was integrated into the EQ in preparation for the 2024 Census of Agriculture Test. For the remaining content, the modular testing results were used to determine appropriate solutions to any issues that were identified, including

• improving questions to increase respondents’ understanding
• providing additional information to clarify instructions (e.g., for the agricultural production yes/no filter questions).

All the content issues identified during modular testing were outlined in the QDRC reports, which were written after each phase. In addition to identifying content issues, these reports provided a module-by-module breakdown of the results from probing questions developed by CEAG analysts. In cases where more than one version of the question was being tested, the versions preferred by respondents were also included in the report.

After reviewing these reports, CEAG analysts met with QDRC interviewers to discuss and address the identified issues. For example, if a module had content that was difficult for respondents to understand, QDRC would provide suggestions for how this issue could be resolved, based on their experience with questionnaire design and testing. This feedback informed the content change decisions made by CEAG analysts in preparation for the 2024 Census of Agriculture Test.

2024 Census of Agriculture Test

On May 14, 2024, the final stage of content testing for the 2026 CEAG, the 2024 Census of Agriculture Test, took place. Data collection began on May 6, 2024, and ended on June 28, 2024. The purpose of the 2024 Census of Agriculture Test was to test content changes, as well as all EQ systems and processes, imputation processes, and validation tools.

Methodology

A sample of 10,000 agriculture operations were selected from across Canada. The sample was targeted to include specific language profiles and farm characteristics. Additionally, some farm types were given priority based on changes to content or collection methods, as outlined in Table 5. For instance, the land practices and features module was rated as a high testing priority for the census test because of changes in content. Consequently, part of the sampling strategy involved ensuring that enough operations that had reported land practices and features in 2021 were included in the sample to ensure proper testing of the question.

When the sample was selected, each agricultural operation was sent an invitation to participate at the beginning of May 2024. Participation in the census test was voluntary.

Of the 10,000 potential respondents, 5,686 responded, representing a response rate of 56.9%. More information on the census test sampling strategy is provided in Figure 2.

Content validation

After data collection was closed, the results were analyzed to ensure that changes to the questionnaire were properly understood and reported, and that the EQ functionality was operating as expected. Validators assessed results based on the following criteria:

Validity edits: Validators assessed the inconsistencies within a single module. For example, when a respondent reported “yes” to greenhouse production in question 16 but did not report any greenhouse area in questions 45 or 46.

Integrity edits: Validators assessed inconsistencies or incoherence with other related questions. For example, a respondent that reported tapping maple trees in question 47 but reported no woodland area in question 32.

Reliability edits: Validators assessed inconsistencies between reported data and other or historical data sets. For example, validators compared the number of dairy cattle reported by respondents in 2024 with the number reported in the 2021 CEAG.

In addition, responses to the 2024 Census Test were analyzed by language to ensure that the terminology used was equally understood in French and English.

Testing summary

The testing process for the 2026 CEAG questionnaire was thorough and included two phases of modular testing and a National Census Test. After each of these tests, the prospective 2026 CEAG questionnaire underwent vigorous analysis to determine its suitability for subsequent testing. The findings will inform content recommendations for the 2026 CEAG questionnaire.
