Female and young farm operators represent a new era of Canadian farmers / by Matthew Shumsky, Agriculture Division.: CS96-325/2018-3E-PDF
"The next generation of Canadian farm operators is emerging and they are altering the perception of the conventional farmer. This release takes data from the 2016 Census of Agriculture (CEAG) and links it with data from the 2016 Census of Population to provide a socioeconomic profile of who is running Canada’s farms. What it revealed is the rise ofa new generation that has adaptive, educated female farm operators coupled with resourceful and progressive young farm operators (those under 40 years of age) working increasingly complex and automated agricultural operations. Over the past 20 years, the proportion of female farm operators has increased. In 1996, females represented25.3% of farm operators. By 2016, that proportion has risen to 28.7%, accounting for 77,830 female farm operators"--P. 3.
