economic statistics (21-018-XIE). This particular publication presents annual estimates of farm operating expenses and depreciation charges and its components starting from 1926. Data highlights are provided for the most current year.

All series can be obtained free on the internet at the Statistics Canada web site (www.statcan.ca). Notes on concepts and methods are also included for each data series. The electronic publication is first available in June. It includes preliminary estimates for the calendar year just ended. The following December, the publication is re-issued with revisions to the preliminary estimates. Revisions to the June issue can extend back two years, while those in December generally apply to three years. The date provided at the top right corner of each table is the last time that a revision was made to that table. Most data appearing in this publication are available through the Canadian Socio-Economic Information Management System (CANSIM), Statistics Canada's corporate computerized data base network and information retrieval service. The Client Services and Marketing Unit, Agriculture Division, Statistics Canada can be contacted at 1 (800) 465-1991 or by email at [email protected] for further information and/or to obtain data in a different medium. Statistics Canada is committed to ensuring that there is no disclosure of confidential material and therefore all data are subjected to restrictions prior to release.

FARM OPERATING EXPENSES National and provincial level estimates of farm operating expenses and depreciation charges from 1926 to date are included in this publication. The estimates are presented net of rebates from 1926 to 1970. From 1971 to date, gross expenses, and rebates (where applicable) are shown for each item. Net expenses and rebates are available on CANSIM. There was little impact on the series when Newfoundland and Labrador estimates began in 1972, as they represented only 0.2% of the total Canada expense estimate. Preliminary estimates of a calendar year are published in June of the following year (i.e. six months after the end of the reference year). The January issue revises these estimates to incorporate data received too late to be included in the first release, data revisions received from administrative source agencies, and to incorporate estimates from the Taxation Data Program (TDP), based on 60 to 80% of the sample. Updates based on the 100% TDP sample are incorporated into the issue released the following June (i.e. 18 months after the end of the reference year). Concepts Estimates of farm operating expenses represent business costs incurred by farm operators for goods and services used in the production of agricultural commodities. All expense information is on a calendar year basis. If direct rebates are paid to farmers to reduce the cost of particular inputs, then the net expense estimates are used in the preparation of net income, although both gross and net expenses may be displayed. As the objective is to produce provincial estimates of net income, flows from one farm to another are excluded from the estimates. The province can be viewed as one large farm. Property tax estimates include municipal and school taxes on agricultural land and buildings owned and operated by farmers. They exclude property tax on land rented to others as this is not the business of producing agricultural goods. Taxes on land rented from others are also excluded as this is accounted for in rent expenses. The personal share of property taxes on the farm house is excluded. Cash rent expenses are estimated for rent paid for land and buildings rented from the government or private sector, including other farmers. Taxes paid on property rented from others and community pasture or grazing fees are included. Quota rental and machine rental costs are excluded. Share rent expenses are estimated for the value of rent which is paid on a share crop basis. Cash wages and room and board estimates include farm wage and salary expenses for hired labour. Wages for the family, including the spouse and children, are also part of this estimate. An increase in family wages would

decrease net farm income but leave family income unchanged. Employer contributions for Worker's Compensation, Employment Insurance and the Canada Pension Plan are included. A separate estimate was made for room and board expense prior to 1986. Interest expense estimates are made for interest paid on all farm business loans such as mortgages or credit from suppliers and private individuals. Payments on the principal are excluded. Interest paid on land rented to others or on the personal portion of the farm house are explicitly excluded. Repairs to buildings and fences expenses include all of the costs associated with the repair and maintenance of farm buildings and fencing, including the farm business share of the farm house. Expenses associated with capital improvements, such as renovations or alterations and new building or fence construction are excluded. A separate estimate was made for repairs to fences expense prior to 1986. Electricity and telephone expenses are estimated for the farm business only. The personal use portion of these expenses and installation costs is excluded. Heating fuel expenses include heating and grain drying with oil, propane, natural gas, wood and coal. The farm business share of home heating is included. Fuel expenses include petroleum, diesel oil and lubricants used for all types of machinery and equipment from tractors and combines to generators and irrigation pumps. Only the farm business share of automobiles and trucks is included. Machinery repair and other machinery expenses are estimated for repairs and maintenance, licence, registration and insurance costs for farm vehicles and machinery. These estimates include the cost of parts, labour and the farm business share of automobile and truck maintenance. Fertilizer and lime expenses include all costs associated with the purchase of fertilizer and lime including spreading, if it is part of the cost. A separate estimate was made for lime expense prior to 1986. The estimate for pesticides represents farm expenditures for all pesticides, herbicides, insecticides and fungicides. If the application of pesticides is part of the cost it is also included. Commercial seed expenses include the value of seed and seedlings purchased by farmers through commercial channels, such as elevators, seed houses and seed dealers. The estimates exclude expenses for seed purchased from other farmers as this is an interfarm transfer in the provincial accounting system. The value of home-grown seed and the value of seed bought for resale are excluded. Seed cleaning and treatment costs

are included if they are part of the purchase cost. Prior to 1973, purchases also included nursery stock. Since 1973, farmers' purchases of nursery stock have been deducted from nursery stock receipts in the farm cash receipts account. Since 1983, only nursery stock purchases from within the same province have been deducted. Irrigation expense estimates are for the purchase of water or water rights, and exclude the operation or purchase of irrigation equipment. Twine, wire and containers expenses include farmers' costs for the purchase of baler twine, binder twine, baling wire, plastic wraps and containers. Containers include burlap and plastic bags, wood and cardboard boxes, plant pots and flats, egg cartons and trays, etc. Large containers, such as grain bins, are not included since these are considered capital expenditures. Crop and hail insurance expenses include the premiums which farmers pay towards both private and government programs. Prior to 1971, crop insurance and business insurance expenses are combined in a total insurance expense. Crop insurance indemnities have been included in the cash receipts account since 1971. Commercial feed expenses are estimated in the same manner as those for seed. Only the cost of feed and feed supplements purchased by farmers through commercial channels is included: the value of feed bought from other farmers and the value of home-grown feed are therefore excluded. Hay and straw costs are included. Livestock purchase estimates represent only interprovincial and international trade of cattle, calves, weanling pigs and lambs moving directly to farms. Stock bought and sold between farmers in the same province are not included. From 1971to 1996, livestock purchase estimates included poultry purchases. Poultry purchases represented the cost of purchasing chicks, pullets, turkeys, geese, ducks, and all other types of poultry from hatcheries. Prior to 1997, hatcheries were considered outside of the agricultural sector. With the inclusion of hatcheries in the agricultural sector, beginning in 1997, under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), expenses for poultry purchases have decreased. Movements of birds between farms in the same province are not included. The artificial insemination fees and veterinary expenses estimates represent all costs which farmers incur when obtaining these services, such as medicine, semen, and technical or professional assistance. Business insurance expenses for 1971 to date represent the gross amount of premiums paid to protect the capital employed in agricultural production. Estimates for earlier years are net of indemnities and are included with crop insurance expenses.

Custom work expenses are net and represent the difference between custom work expenses and custom work receipts. They include custom work, contract work and machine hire expenses. Expenses with benefits spread out over many years such as land clearing are excluded. Stabilization premiums are expenses which farmers pay to belong to stabilization programs. Legal and accounting expenses are fees which are pertinent to the farming operation. Prior to 1990, legal and accounting fees were a part of other expenses. Other expenses include items which are not covered elsewhere in the accounts such as office and promotion expenses. Legal and accounting fees were part of other expenses before 1990. They are now one separate item. Methods and Data Quality Preliminary estimates of each farm operating expense except interest, irrigation, livestock and poultry purchases, crop and hail insurance, and stabilization premiums are obtained by applying price and quantity indicators to the previous year's final estimates. Prior to 1991, most of the final estimates of farm operating expenses came from the National Farm Survey (NFS) and a sample of farmers' income tax records for unincorporated farms outside of the Prairies. From 1991 to date, the Taxation Data Program (TDP) is the main data source. The first sets of estimates, based on a 60 to 90% TDP sample, are published in the December issue of the following year. Estimates based on the complete TDP sample are published in the June issue, 18 months after the end of the reference year. In summary, during non-intercensal review periods, revisions are within 1 to 2% of the original estimate, and may cover three years preceding the reference year for the January issue, and two years for the June release. Revisions are also incorporated into this series after the results of each Census of Agriculture have been reviewed. Concepts, methods and format may also be changed at this time, to provide a historical time series which is methodologically and conceptually consistent. The most recent intercensal reviews have resulted in revisions to the estimate of total gross farm operating expenses, at the Canada level, of 1.6%. For information about intercensal revisions, please refer to Farm operating expenses and depreciation charges – Agriculture economic statistics (21-012-XIE Vol.2, No.2). To obtain detailed technical information on the data quality of the Taxation Data Program, whose estimates form the base of this series, users can refer either to the introductory page or to Economic Overview of Farm Incomes, Statistics Canada Catalogue 21-005-XIE.

For the other expense items (interest, irrigation, livestock and poultry purchases, crop and hail insurance, and stabilization premiums), preliminary estimates of the previous calendar year are published in the June Agriculture Economic Statistics (AES) and includes all data received from source agencies or Statistics Canada sources at the time of release. The January issue revises these to incorporate changes made by the source agencies, and to accommodate data received too late to be included in the first release. Interest expenses are estimated from administrative data prepared by banks, credit unions, the Farm Credit Canada, federal and provincial governments, and from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. The data are adjusted to conform with the required concepts. Examples of such adjustments would be converting fiscal year data to a calendar year basis, or the exclusion of the personal share portion of the interest on the house mortgage. Irrigation expense estimates come from the Association of British Columbia Irrigation Districts, Alberta Agriculture, the Saskatchewan Water Corporation, and the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration. Livestock purchase expense estimates are based on international and interprovincial import data. The number of animals imported interprovincially and internationally is obtained from supply and disposition balance sheets published by the Livestock and Animal Products Section. The values for animals imported interprovincially are based on prices received by farmers in the exporting province, as compiled by the Farm Income and Prices Section (FIPS). Transportation costs between provinces, as provided by the transportation industry, are added to the livestock purchase expense. The value of animals imported internationally is calculated using International Trade Division data. Prior to 1997, poultry purchase expense estimates included the cost of purchasing chicks from hatcheries. With hatcheries becoming part of the agricultural sector in 1997, only the value of chicks and hatching eggs imported interprovincially and internationally is measured. Quantities of pullet and broiler chicks, turkey poults and chicken and turkey hatching eggs are obtained from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. Prices are obtained from the Canadian marketing agencies for eggs, broiler hatching eggs and turkeys. International import prices are obtained through the International Trade Division, Statistics Canada. Crop and hail insurance estimates come from the Canadian Hail Underwriters Association and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's administrative data. Stabilization premium estimates are provided by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. The method for handling stabilization premiums was revised as part of the 1971-1987 intercensal revisions. For 1971 to date,

premiums are reported in the farm operating expenses series. DEPRECIATION CHARGES Concepts Depreciation charges against the farm business are intended to account for economic depreciation or the loss in fair market value of the capital assets. Generally, depreciation is considered to occur as a result of ageing, wear and tear, and obsolescence. It represents the value of capital, which is no longer available for future use. Economic depreciation should not be confused with accounting depreciation, tax depreciation, or capacity depreciation. Building depreciation estimates the depreciation of farm buildings on owner-occupied farms, including the farm business share of houses. The charge for building depreciation on tenant-occupied farms is assumed to be included in the cost of cash or share rent. Machinery depreciation estimates the depreciation of the farm business share of autos and trucks and the depreciation of other machinery, which are owned by the farm business. Autos, trucks and machinery, which the farmer leases, are not depreciated. Methods and Data Quality The depreciation on farm buildings is based on the value of farm land and buildings. Provincial owner-occupied proportions are derived from the Census of Agriculture estimates of land tenure. The proportions of houses and other buildings to land are derived from the special 1958 Farm Income and Expenditure Survey, with some adjustments prior to 1984 to account for changes in the proportions over time. The business share of the house was based on tax allowances and expert opinion. These proportions are used to derive the owner-occupied farm business share of the value of farm houses and other buildings. Depreciation is calculated using the declining balance method where the appropriate capital value is multiplied by the depreciation rate. The depreciation rate is 2% for farm houses and 5% for other buildings. It would take 80 and 31 years, respectively, to depreciate 80% of the value from any particular year, using the declining balance method. Depreciation of autos, trucks and other farm machinery are based on their respective capital value series, using the declining balance method. Depreciation rates vary by province, but range between 9% and 17%. It would take approximately 17 and 9 years, respectively, to depreciate 80% of the value from any particular year, using this method. Only the farm business portion of depreciation on autos or trucks is included. The business share of the autos and trucks was based on tax allowances and expert opinion.

An analysis of the quality of depreciation data was done in 1994. Weaknesses which were identified and remain unresolved include: the use of the change in value of farm land and buildings to estimate farm building depreciation; the use of a conceivably outdated 1958 survey as a benchmark; the omission of fencing as depreciable capital; and the use of indirect sources of information on the proportion of owned assets to total assets. A report on the results of this analysis was prepared and is available on request. Leasing of automobiles, trucks and farm machinery Beginning in the early 1990's, the leasing of vehicles and farm machinery became increasingly common. That portion of the value of autos, trucks and farm machinery that was being leased by farmers was removed from the depreciation calculation. Machinery and equipment is separated into five categories: a) Automobiles, b) Trucks, c) Tractors, d) Self-propelled combines, e) All other machinery. The practice of leasing is most common for the first four categories (above) while “all other machinery” is, for the most part, owned outright by farmers. Decisions made on basis of information provided by manufacturers, dealers, surveys, administrative data, etc. are as follows: 1) Automobiles, trucks, tractors, and self-propelled combines purchased prior to 1992 were not purchased under a lease agreement. 2) The capital value owned by the farm operator used in calculating depreciation was reduced when the leasing calculations began in 1992. Automobiles and trucks It is assumed that at the end of the lease agreement for automobiles and trucks (i.e., after 3 years) either the leasee buys the vehicle outright at a “buy out” value or another farmer buys the used vehicle outright or the leasee returns the vehicle to the dealer who sells them to the non-agriculture sector. Tractors and self-propelled combines At the end of the lease agreement for tractors (i.e., after 4 years) and self-propelled combines (i.e., after 3 years) either the leasee buys the machinery outright at a “buy out” value or another farmer buys the used machinery outright. In either case, the value of used farm machinery purchased outright is included in the total value of owned farm machinery.

REBATES Concepts National and provincial estimates of rebates paid directly to farmers represent a reduction in business costs incurred in the production of agricultural commodities. Rebates, paid by various governments, are calculated on a calendar year basis. In this publication the expense items are each shown net of rebates from 1926 to 1970, but from 1971 to date, the actual rebate estimate is displayed. Methods and Data Quality The rebate estimates include all payments made directly to producers under federal, provincial and municipal expense reducing programs. Administrative data are obtained directly from provincial departments of agriculture and of finance. Current rebate programs include: Prince Edward Island: Lean Beef Program (livestock purchase rebate) Nova Scotia:

Sire Improvement Program (livestock purchase rebate)

Agriculture Limestone Assistance Program (lime rebate) Loss Provision Program (interest rebate) New Brunswick: Beef Producers Sire Assistance Policy (livestock purchase rebate) Cattle Retention Program (interest rebate)

Quebec: Property Tax Rebate Program Interest Rebate Program

Ontario: Machinery Fuel Tax Rebate Program Rural Summer Jobs Service Program (cash wage

rebate) Saskatchewan: Farm Fuel Program (machinery fuel rebate) Alberta: Interest Rebate Program Natural Gas Rebate Program (heating fuel rebate) Grasshopper Control Assistance Program (pesticide rebate) As the data are obtained directly from those agencies administering the rebate programs, and making payments to the producers, they are deemed to be of good quality.
