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. Gross farm receipts: The Census of Agriculture measures gross farm receipts for the calendar or accounting year prior to the census.
Gross farm receipts before deducting expenses in this analysis include:. Total operating expenses: The Census of Agriculture measures operating expenses for the calendar or accounting year prior to the census.
Total operating expenses include:. For example, for financial data the reference period is the calendar or accounting fiscal year prior to the census. Farm operator: According to the census, a farm operator is any person responsible for the management decisions made for an agricultural operation as of May 10, For more information, or to enquire about the concepts, methods or data quality of this release, contact us toll-free ; ; STATCAN.

Census farm: An operation is considered a census farm agricultural operation if it 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; Animal products: Milk or cream, eggs, wool, furs, meat; Other agricultural products: Christmas trees, sod, greenhouse or nursery products, mushrooms, honey or bees, maple syrup and its products.
Gross farm receipts before deducting expenses in this analysis include: receipts from all agricultural products sold; program payments and custom work receipts. The following are not included in gross farm receipts: sales of forestry products for example: firewood, pulpwood, logs, fence posts and pilings ; sales of capital items for example: quota, land, machinery ; receipts from the sale of any goods purchased only for retail sales. Total operating expenses include: any expense associated with producing agricultural products such as the cost of seed, feed, fuel, fertilizers, etc.
The following are not included in total operating expenses: the purchase of land, buildings or equipment; depreciation or capital cost allowance. Depreciation represents economic "wear and tear" expense.
Capital cost allowance represents the amount of depreciation written off by the tax filer as allowed by tax regulations.

The Canada Western Red Winter class is currently the sole market class with a winter growth habit. The CSWS class is limited to production under irrigation, and is grown in trace amounts 0.
The CWRS wheat class is considered a high-protein premium bread wheat. However, this type of wheat has proven to be quite versatile in its end-uses, ranging from noodles to bread. The Marquis variety, released in , was the benchmark for what eventually became known as CWRS wheat. Current varieties of CWRS wheat tend to have higher protein levels and stronger gluten characteristics than Marquis and its early progeny.
This class was designed to address markets that do not require a premium high-protein product. CPSR wheat varieties are meant to be used in the production of flat and French-type breads.
In recent years, however, high-yielding CPSR varieties have been used as livestock feed and a starch source for ethanol production. The primary end-use being targeted by CPSW wheat is the production of oriental noodles; to date, this has largely been a market-development effort.
With the advent of gluten extraction factories and the imposition of crippling import tariffs into the EU, the CWES class lost its intended primary markets.
A secondary market was developed in the USA, but this was in turn lost once the USA developed its own extra-strong gluten wheat varieties. Signing up enhances your TCE experience with the ability to save items to your personal reading list, and access the interactive map.
Wheat is the common name for members of genus Triticum of the grass family Gramineae and for the cereal grains produced by these grasses. Wheat figures among the three most produced cereals in the world, along with corn and rice.
Canada is the world's sixth-largest producer and one of the largest exporters of wheat, annually producing an average of over 25 million tonnes and exporting around 15 million tonnes. Within Canada, wheat is the most important cultivated crop grown on an average of over 10 million hectares , though canola is increasing in significance.
Only one class of durum is grown, amber durum; however, there are several classes of common wheat, based on factors including seed hardness and colour, sowing time autumn or spring and the region where the varieties are grown.
Wheat has several uses, including flour for baked goods and pasta, and feed for livestock. In addition, it is used to make beer, vodka and biofuel. Wheat contains gluten protein, which forms minute gas cells that hold carbon dioxide during fermentation, allowing dough to rise and resulting in light bread.
Importers of Canadian wheat often blend it with weaker wheats before using it for bread. For this reason, much effort goes into maintaining the strength and mixing qualities of Canadian wheat. Maintenance involves controlling cultivars i. Close to half of all Canadian wheat is grown in Saskatchewan , followed by Alberta and Manitoba. Cultivated forms of wheat evolved from natural crossings of wild species, followed by domestication and selection by humans.
Wheat was domesticated in Southwest Asia over thousands of years and spread across Asia, Africa and Europe. Introduction to North America took place in the late 15th century and the 16th century. The most important modern cultivars are common and durum wheats, which are usually given the binomial designations T. In Canada, wheat was probably first grown at Port-Royal in about ; the first exports were made in Many cultivars from Europe were tried: some were winter wheats that could not survive Canada's severe winters; others were spring wheats that matured too late for the short growing season.
The cultivar Red Fife , developed in Ontario , became very popular because of its good yield and excellent milling and baking qualities. By about , Red Fife was popular on the Prairies, but it, too, froze in the fields in years with early frosts.
