Farm headquarters rule
Farm headquarters rule
Definition
The Census of Agriculture "farm headquarters rule" concept refers to the assignment of all data collected for an agricultural operation to a single main farm location, as reported by the census respondent.
This methodology is applied to all agricultural operations in Canada, including those composed of numerous parcels of land located in different geographic areas (such as rural municipalities or counties).
The application of the "farm headquarters rule" could result in some perceived inconsistencies related to the allocation of land and commodities to different Census Consolidated Subdivisions (CCS), from census to census.
