Notes:

1. Tame or seeded pasture data from Censuses of Agriculture from 1986 to 2011 have been used to estimate a regression line

2. In Column C (Estimate_1), annual estimates between the census years are derived by adding the immediate past census da

3. In Column D (Estimate_2), annual estimates are derived through simple and weighted trending for the years from 1987 to 20

 The trend from 2002 onward is calculated by applying more weight (66.7%) to the current period (2001-2006) than the immed

4. Annual estimates in Column E (Esimate_3) are simple averages of estimates in Column C and Column D. Estimate_3 has b

5. Estimates for the census years (1986, 1991, 1996, 2001, 2006 and 2011) are published numbers.
