- Value of farm land and buildings; Value of farm capital; Farm debt; Net farm income - Newfoundland and Labrador is included in the Canada Total since 1976. - Farm debt: In June 2015, Statistics Canada received updates to source data from an external organization. As a result, data in the Farm Debt Series for reference periods 2012, 2013 and 2014 have been revised. Revisions apply to advance payment levels in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia, which affect the farm debt outstanding for those areas. However, advance payments and farm debt at the Canada level remain the same. - Net farm income: total cash receipts minus operating expenses after rebates equals net cash income; net cash income plus income-in-kind minus depreciation charges equals realized net income.
