This data shows spatial density of lentil cultivation in Canada. Regions with higher calculated spatial densities represent agricultural regions of Canada in which Lentils lentils 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 Lentils lentils based on analysis of the 2009 to 2021 AAFC annual crop inventory data.

This data shows spatial density of Corn cultivation in Canada. Regions with higher calculated spatial densities represent agricultural regions of Canada in which Corn 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 Corn based on analysis of the 2009 to 2021 AAFC annual crop inventory data.

This data shows spatial density of mustard cultivation in Canada. Regions with higher calculated spatial densities represent agricultural regions of Canada in which mustard 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 mustard based on analysis of the 2009 to 2021 AAFC annual crop inventory data.

This data shows spatial density of pulses cultivation in Canada. Regions with higher calculated spatial densities represent agricultural regions of Canada in which pulses 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 pulses based on analysis of the 2009 to 2021 AAFC annual crop inventory data. Pulses consist of the following specfic crops types from the AAFC annual crop inventory; Pulses, Beans, Black Beans, Cranberry Beans, Faba Beans, Great Northern Beans, Kidney Beans, Lima Beans, Pinto Beans, Navy Beans, Red Beans, White Beans, Other Beans, Lentils, Peas, Chick Peas, Field Peas, White Peas, Other Peas, and Other Pulse

The Census of Agriculture is disseminated by Statistics Canada's standard geographic units (boundaries). Since these census units do not reflect or correspond with biophysical landscape units (such as ecological regions, soil landscapes or drainage areas), Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in collaboration with Statistics Canada's Agriculture Division, have developed a process for interpolating (reallocating or proportioning) Census of Agriculture information from census polygon-based units to biophysical polygon-based units. In the “Interpolated census of agriculture”, suppression confidentiality procedures were applied by Statistics Canada to the custom tabulations to prevent the possibility of associating statistical data with any specific identifiable agricultural operation or individual. Confidentiality flags are denoted where "-1" appears in data cell. This indicates information has been suppressed by Statistics Canada to protect confidentiality. Null values/cells simply indicate no data is reported.

The national agricultural ecumene includes all dissemination areas with 'significant' agricultural activity. Agricultural indicators, such as the ratio of agricultural land on census farms relative to total land area, and total economic value of agricultural production, are used. Regional variations are also taken into account. The ecumene is generalized for small-scale mapping. A new version of the agricultural ecumene is generated every census year (in vector format) since 1986. This file was produced by Statistics Canada, Agriculture Division, Remote Sensing and Geospatial Analysis section, 2022, Ottawa.

This data shows spatial density of flax cultivation in Canada. Regions with higher calculated spatial densities represent agricultural regions of Canada in which flax 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 flax based on analysis of the 2009 to 2021 AAFC annual crop inventory data.

This data set was compiled by AAFC from the historic yields of major crops as provided by Statistics Canada and provides support on estimates of crop yield and related statistics.

The “Prairie Agricultural Landscapes (PAL)” datasets identify areas of the agricultural portions of the Canadian Prairies with similar land and water resources, land use and farming practices. They are represented by vector polygons. Based on selected attributes from the Soil Landscapes of Canada (SLC) and the 1996 Census of Agriculture, the Prairies were classified into 13 (thirteen) classes of Land Practices Group and five (5) Major Land Practices Groups. Typical attributes used to define the Land Practice Groups include: land in pasture, land in summerfallow, crop mixture, farm size and the level of chemical and fertilizer inputs. The five (5) Major Groups were devised to help better understand the relationships between the groups.
