**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 im me diate past census data to the coefficient (T) distributed equally to the years between two census cycles (i.e., coefficient divided by 5). 3. In Column D (Estimate_2), annual estimates are derived through simple and weighted trending for the years from 1987 to 2012 except the census years. The trend from 2002 onward is calculated by apply ing m ore weight (66.7%) to the current period (2001-2006) than the immediate past period (1996-2001) (33.3% weight). 4. Annual estimates in Column E (Esimate_3) are simple averages of estimates in Column C and Column D. Estimate_3 has been used in calculations. 5. Estimates for the census years (1986, 1991, 1996, 2001, 2006 and 2011) are published numbers. **Seeded pasture areas in census publications**
