Notes:       
1) Value of production for most products is equal to total market receipts (source: Statistics Canada "Farm Cash Receipts, Agricul ture Economic Statistics" Catalogue 21-011-X, 
Vol 8, No. 2,  table "Farm Cash Receipts – Agriculture Economic Statistics”, November 2009).  For grains and oilseeds, value of  production is equal to production multiplied 
by price (source for production: Statistics Canada CANSIM Table 001-0010, February 2010; source for price: based on Statistics Canada Farm Cash Receipt prices).  The de 
minimis  level is 5%. 
2) Dash indicates nil; 0.0 indicates a small amount rounded to 0.0. 
3) Totals may not add due to rounding.
