3. geo_level: "country" or "state". For dataset "livestock_production", it can also be "municipality"

4. time_period: picks the years for which the data will be downloaded:

   • For datasets "agricultural_land_area", "agricultural_producer_condition", "animal_products", and "vegetable_production_area", it can be one of 1920, 1940, 1950, 1960, 1970, 1975, 1980, 1985, 1995, or 2006.

Examples:

# Download total land area data at the country level in year 2006
data <- load_censoagro(
  dataset = "agricultural_land_area",
  raw_data = TRUE,
  geo_level = "country",
  time_period = 2006
)

# Download temporary production crops data by state (geo_level = "state") in year 2006
# in portuguese (language = "pt")
data <- load_censoagro(
  dataset = "vegetable_production_temporary",
  raw_data = FALSE,
  geo_level = "state",
  time_period = 1996,
