Acreage
lowest
4
since '31
An increase in the number of
farms with 760 acres or more .
in area and a sharp decrease
in the number of smaller ones
featured the fifth in a series
of reports on the 1971 "census
of Agriculture issued by Statis-
tics Canada.
Total land area used by Can-
adian farmers dropped to 170
million acres from the 174
million reported in 1966, to pro-
duce the lowest acreage figure
recorded .since 1931. Despite
this reduction in total acreage
the trend to larger farms con-
tinues. Of the 366,128 farms cov-
ered by the census 17 per cent
were 769 acres or more in size,
compared with 13 per cent five
years earlier and 11 per cent
in 1961. Farms with less than
760 -1,Cres accounted for 83 per
cent of the 1971 total, down from
8'7 per cent of the farms in 1966
and 90 per cent in 19611
I: or the first time 'Manitoba
and Saskatchewan reported de-
creased acreage in comparison
with the previous census, '
although the decreases were re-
latively slight. Manitoba's farm
lands were some 75,558 acres
below the 1966 figure and Sask-
-atchewan's by about 352,488.
Alberta and British Columbia
continued to show increaSed farm
acreage following their historic
trends. -Newfoundland also re-
ported an increase as the re-
sult• of unimproved land being
brought into agriculture for the
development, of community pas-
tyre land.
The acreage of improved far-
land held steady at 108' million
acres virtually ,unchanged from
1966. Improved farmland
includes land cultivated and sown
to• crop for harvest in' 1971,.
farm-land 'cultivated and seed-
ed for pasture use in 1971, summ-
er-fallowed land with no crop
harvested in 1971, but being cul- -
tivated or worked during the
year for week control and or
for moisture conservation, plus
other land used for barnyards,
home gardens, lanes and roads ,
on the farms.
Since there was a smaller
number of farms in 1971 than
five years earlier, the average
acreage of improved land per
farm in the six eastern, pro-
vinces rose from 99 acres in
1966 to 108 acres in 1971. In
the four western provinces the
improved acreage of the average
farm increased from 406 acres 4"
in 1766 to 463 acres in 1971.
the The
co ma rpeoan eonft sc r oopfl. a ni dm, pornoev eodf
farmland, at 69 million acres,
was only slightly less than in
1966. The four western pro- ,
vinces experienced an increase
in cropland which was however, 4'
more Oran- 'offset by a decrease
in the other provinces.
Improved pasture land in-
creased over past censuses to a
peak of 11 million acres in 1966.
The 1971 Census • reports 'a de-
cline to 10 million acres with
increases reported only in New- 6.,
foundland, SaSkatchewan and Al-
bertmmerfallow acreages have
shown small fluctuations since
1941. • In 1971 there was an in-
crease to 2'7 million acres from
26 million in 1966.
Unimproved land on Canadian °1"
farms, Which has decreased st-
eadily' since 1941, fell to 62
million acres last year. Of this
total 12 million acres were wood-
land and 50 million acres con-
sisted of unimproved hay land,
native pastures, marshes,ete.
b Detailed information con-
cerning sizes, area and use 'of
Canadian farmlands, by pro-
vinces and census divisions, is
contained in Census of Agricul-
ture Renort No. 96-721.
