Ontario Fruit And Vegetable Farm Area Comparisons

Government of Ontario statistics track the cultivated area and farm count for specific fruit and vegetable crops across four census years: 2006, 2011, 2016, and 2021. The data compares crop production metrics by farm size categories, providing a longitudinal view of agricultural trends.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in total cultivated area for crops like apples or carrots across census years.
• Compare the number of farms within different crop area size categories (e.g., small vs. large holdings) for a specific year.
• Model the relationship between farm count and total area for a vegetable type over the 15-year period.

Strengths

• Data spans four census periods over 15 years (2006 to 2021).
• Provides comparisons by crop area size category.

Limitations

• Exact row count and specific column names are unknown.
• Data is limited to census years, missing annual updates.
