Agricultural Census [ag/census]
The first Agricultural Census (AC) in Brazil was conducted in 1920. Since 1940, ACs have been conducted on a decennial basis' until 1970, and quinquennially2 thereafter, until 1985. A lack of resources delayed the implementation of the AC 1996 and of its next edition, the AC 2006, to which the metadata review and data presented here refer.
