    Thanks for focussing on the Prairie Provinces....no point in skewing results with BC sized farms.
    Like Douglas Lake you mean?

      I'm assuming that's a huge ranch?

          101...now look what you started!


          Edit: HEY! IF THE NUMBER OF BC FARMS HAS BEEN FAIRLY STATIC....HOW CAN FARM SIZE BE GROWING(marginally????)? WHERE ARE THEY GETTING THE EXTRA LAND FROM? I THOUGHT THEY WEREN'T MAKING ANY MORE?

            Yeah... darn all those farmers twenty years ago who started selling out to help gain space for JT. What foresight!

                .....a "little" piece of paradise!

                Probably stocking more cervids than bovids.

                  Nope. AFAIK they’re pretty much all Cattle and then forage and crop for the Cattle. 20,000 head and then a bunch of horses.

                  Hard to meet a true cowboy that hasn’t worked some stint at Douglas Lake. They’re almost straight out of Nothing Too Good for a Cowboy.

                    The census has changed over the years and so the questions asked or the responses given can skew the results when trying to compare one census to another.
                    [URL="http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2016/ref/dict/pop012-eng.cfm"]http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2016/ref/dict/pop012-eng.cfm[/URL]

                    A glance at the chart doesn't show these changes.

                    How crown land leases and hobby farms are counted could change census results quite a bit, especially in BC. Just a guess

                      What did you think was going to happen with 80 foot airseeders and air tanks the size of a B train? Farms get smaller?
