In 2018, the Earth Observation Team of the Science and Technology Branch (STB) at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) repeated the process of generating annual crop inventory digital maps using satellite imagery to for all of Canada, in support of a national crop inventory. A Decision Tree (DT) based methodology was applied using optical (Landsat-8, Sentinel-2) and radar (RADARSAT-2) based satellite images, and having a final spatial resolution of 30m. In conjunction with satellite acquisitions, ground-truth information was provided by: provincial crop insurance companies in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, & Quebec; point observations from the BC Ministry of Agriculture, & the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs; and data collection supported by our regional AAFC Research and Development Centres in St. John’s, Kentville, Charlottetown, Fredericton, Guelph, and Summerland

The following dataset correspond to the 230 m agricultural mask from Statistics Canada’s Crop Condition Assessment Program (CCAP). The mask have been generated from the classes 110 to 199 of the 2015 Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s landcover classification. The selection was then generalized to a spatial resolution of 230 m. The 2015 mask was used from the 2015 to the 2018 growing seasons inclusively.

This data shows spatial density of Barley cultivation in Canada. Regions with higher calculated spatial densities represent agricultural regions of Canada in which Barley is more expected. Results are provided as rasters with numerical values for each pixel indicating the spatial density calculated for that location. Higher spatial density values represent higher likelihood to have Barley based on analysis of the 2009 to 2021 AAFC annual crop inventory data.

This data shows spatial density of forage crops in Canada. Regions with higher calculated spatial densities represent agricultural regions of Canada in which forage crops are more expected. Results are provided as rasters with numerical values for each pixel indicating the spatial density calculated for that location. Higher spatial density values represent higher likelihood to have forage crops based on analysis of the 2009 to 2021 AAFC annual crop inventory data.

Manitoba market hog prices and United States (U.S.) iso-wean pig and feeder pig prices weekly and monthly, for the last 10 years. The table represents prices paid for market hogs in Manitoba and iso-wean and feeder pigs in the U.S. weekly and monthly for the current and last 10 years. For hog price report definitions and calculations, click here.  Manitoba market hog prices are collected from major processors in Manitoba, compiled and released weekly by Manitoba Agriculture and Resource Development (ARD). Manitoba market hog prices are weighted by the volume of hogs processed, and averaged monthly. United States (U.S.) iso-wean and feeder pig prices are sourced from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and presented in Canadian dollars (C$) using the Bank of Canada exchange rate. Monthly U.S. iso-wean and feeder pig prices are a simple average of the weekly U.S. total composite weighted average prices.  Fields included (Alias (Field name): Field description) Year (Year): year from the selection of last ten years including current year Period (Period): period of time to be presented on charts from the selection of Monthly and Weekly PeriodNo (PeriodNo): serial number of period (1-12 for Monthly presentation, 1-52 for Weekly presentation) Price (Price): Hogs price for the corresponding period of time (C$ per head for U.S. feeder pigs and iso-wean pigs, CAD per 100 kg for Manitoba market hogs)Hog category (Hog category): category of animals from the selection of U.S. feeder pigs, U.S. iso-wean pigs, Manitoba market hogs

In 2020, the Earth Observation Team of the Science and Technology Branch (STB) at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) repeated the process of generating annual crop inventory digital maps using satellite imagery to for all of Canada, in support of a national crop inventory. A Decision Tree (DT) based methodology was applied using optical (Landsat-8, Sentinel-2) based satellite images, and having a final spatial resolution of 30m. In conjunction with satellite acquisitions, ground-truth information was provided by: provincial crop insurance companies in Alberta, Manitoba, & Quebec; point observations from the PEI Department of Environment, Water and Climate Change; the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs; and data collection supported by our regional AAFC Research and Development Centres in St. John’s, Charlottetown, Fredericton, and Guelph. Due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, complete sampling coverages in NL, NS, NB and BC were not possible, as a result the general agriculture class (120) is found in these provinces in areas where there was no ground data collected.

Historical Manitoba market crop prices, based on weekly surveys of grain buyers' pricing This table contains weekly and monthly prices for different crops, based on weekly surveys of grain buyers' pricing, as well as other publicly available market sources. The table contains prices for the current and nine previous years. Each weekly dataset contains prices on the sales that occurred from Friday to Thursday. The monthly price represents a simple average of the corresponding weekly prices. For more information on major crops in Manitoba please visit ARD Livestock Markets and Statistics. This table is used in the Manitoba Crop Prices Historical dashboard. Fields included [Alias (Field name): Field description] Year (Year): Year from the selection of last 10 years including current year Period (Period): Period of time to be presented on charts from the selection of Monthly and Weekly PeriodNo (PeriodNo): Serial number of period (1-12 for monthly presentation, 1-52 for weekly presentation). For weekly presentation, each week contains prices on sales that occurred from Friday to Thursday (e.g., Week 1 of 2021 represents sales between Friday, Jan. 1, 2021 and Thursday, Jan. 7, 2021, with the corresponding report published by the department on Friday, Jan. 8, 2021). For monthly presentation, each month contains simple average prices of weeks, which had more than two days of corresponding month in the period from Monday to Friday (e.g., if the first day of the month is Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, monthly average includes this week; but if the first day of the month is Thursday or Friday, the weekly prices are included in monthly average prices of a previous month). Price (Price): Crop price for the corresponding period of time, in C$ per tonne Crop Category (Crop): Category of grains and oilseeds from the selection of: Wheat, Northern Hard Red;  Wheat, Western Red Spring; Wheat, Red Winter; Wheat, Special Purpose (Low Vomi); Barley, #1CW; Corn, #2; Oats, #2CW; Flaxseed, #1CW; Canola, #1CR; Canola Meal, 34%, Altona; Soybeans; Soymeal, 46%, Wpg; Peas, #2 Yellow.

The Grain Elevators in Canada - 2021 dataset maps the list of grain elevators in Canada as provided by the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC). The elevators have been located as much as possible to an actual location rather than generalizing to the station name centroid. Additionally car spot information from CN, CP and the grain companies has been added where this has been published. This dataset attempts to provide a temporal and geographical extent of the grain elevators in Canada.
