The National Agricultural Censuses (NAC) constitute one of the main sources of data that allow to account for the agrarian structure of a country. Based on them, perceptions about the agricultural sector and the various social actors that comprise it are being built. On the occasion of the recent publication of the results of the NAC 2018 in Argentina, in this article we share some reflexions and warnings about the biases and limitations offered by censuses in general and this one in particular. Taking these aspects into account, the data provided by the NAC 2018 on what happens in the province of Santa Fe were analyzed, comparing it with other censuses, secondary sources and the empirical knowledge of the research team on the same province. This analysis has allowed us to formulate some hypotheses and questions about what the statistical data indicates and also to point out those aspects that deserve to be contrasted with other sources and specific studies.

Keywords : National Agricultural Censuses (NAC); secondary sources analysis; Santa Fe; Argentina.
