2001 Census Agricultural Regions

Question

The 2001 Agricultural Community Profiles state:
"The profiles include agricultural statistics on population and farm operators, land use and land practices, farm finances, crops and horticulture, and livestock for most communities at the geographic level of the census division (CD) and census agricultural region (CAR). "

I would like the data for the CARs for Manitoba but I can't seem to obtain the information.

Answer

I spoke with the Agriculture Division and they confirmed that the 2001 Agricultural Community Profiles module will not allow you to look up profiles for census agricultural regions (CARs).

They suggested that you consult the 2001 Farm Data and Farm Operator Data Full Release tables for data on Manitoba CARs. The data tables for this product are available on our website at:
http://www.statcan.ca/english/freepub/95F0302XIE/2001001/tables.htm

We also have farm data and farm operator data (including CAR level data) in the Census Agricultural 2001 folder on the DLI FTP under
ftp/dli/census/agricultural/2001. You may wish to use these files obtain the CAR level data you need.
