places in the heart
in canada, the number of "family farms" cannot be inferred closely, because of the nature of census data, which do not distinguish family and non-family farm partnerships. in 2011, of canada’s 205,730 farms, 55 percent were sole proprietorships, 25 percent were partnerships, 17 percent were family corporations, 2 percent were non-family corporations and 1 percent were other categories. because some but not all partnerships involve family members, these data suggest that family farms account for between about 73 and 97 percent of canadian farms. the family farm percentage is likely to be near the high end of this range, for two reasons. the partners in a [canadian] farm partnership are typically spouses, often forming the farm partnership for tax reasons. also, as in the us, family farm succession planning can use a partnership as a means of apportioning family farm tenure among family members when a sole proprietor is ready to transfer some or all of ownership and operation of a farm to offspring. conversion of a sole proprietorship family farm to a family corporation may also be influenced by legal and financial, e.g. tax, considerations. the canadian encyclopedia estimates that more than 90 percent of canadian farms are family operations. in 2006, of canadian farms with more than one million dollars in annual gross farm receipts, about 63 percent were family corporations and 13 percent were non-family corporations.
