Map showing locations of co-packer services in Manitoba. This map shows the locations of co-packer services in Manitoba. A contract manufacturer or co-packer is a company that manufactures and/or packages food for other companies to sell. This list is not inclusive nor an endorsement for services. For more information, visit Manitoba Agriculture. This map uses the feature layer Manitoba Co-Packer Services and forms part of the Manitoba Co-Packer Services App.

The data represents the relative amount of manure production in the agricultural area of Alberta. It is an estimate of the degree to which livestock production may contribute to nutrient loading, pathogens and odour. The classes shown on the map are ranked between 0 (lowest) and 1 (highest). This resource was created in 2002 using ArcGIS.

Map showing where custom packaging services in Manitoba are located. This map shows where custom packaging services in Manitoba are located. A contract packager (subcontractor) is a company that manufactures and packages food products sold by other businesses. This list is not exhaustive and does not constitute a recommendation for services.

The Canada Land Inventory (CLI), 1 100,000, Land Capability and Limitation for Agriculture dataset illustrates the varying potential of a specific area for agricultural production. Classes of land capability for agriculture are based on mineral soils grouped according to their potential and limitations for agricultural use. The classes indicate the degree of limitation imposed by the soil in its use for mechanized agriculture. The subclasses indicate the kinds of limitations that individually or in combination with others, are affecting agricultural land use. Characteristics of the soil as determined by soil surveys.

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.

This dataset is complementary to the Centre for Marine Applied Research’s (CMAR) Current Data and Wave Data County datasets. The Current and Wave data are measured by Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCPs), which are typically deployed for 1 – 3 months in a single location. This Deployment Information dataset provides details for each ADCP deployment, including the variable(s) measured, the deployment location, and instrument configuration.

The Agri-Environmental Spatial Data (AESD) product from the Census of Agriculture provides a large selection of farm-level variables from the Census of Agriculture and uses alternative data sources to improve the spatial distribution of the production activities. Therefore, the AESD database offers clients the possibility to better analyze the impact of agriculture activities on the environment and produce key indicators, or for any applications where accurate location of activities matters. Variables are offered using two types of physical boundaries: by Soil Landscape of Canada polygons and by Sub-sub-drainage areas (watersheds). The focus of the redistribution of the data is on the field crops and land use variables, but the database includes all census variables related to crops, livestock and management practices. This frame can also be used to extract Census of Agriculture data by custom geographic areas. Also, users interested in this version of the Census of Agriculture database using administrative types of regions can request it. In both cases, please contact Statistics Canada.

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

In 2021, 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 (RCM) 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 Manitoba, & Quebec; point observations from the PEI Department of Environment, Water and Climate Change; Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs; University of Guelph - Ridgetown campus; British Columbia Ministry of Agriculture; and data collection supported by our regional AAFC Research and Development Centres in St. John's, Charlottetown, Kentville, Fredericton, Guelph and Summerland. Due to COVID-19 travel restrictions and forest fires, complete sampling coverages in BC was not possible, as a result the general agriculture class (120) is found in this province in areas where there was no ground data collected.

Crop rotation is an agricultural production and land management practice beneficial to sustainable agriculture in Canada. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) produces crop rotation data annually showing the crop rotations used within the agricultural extent of Canada for the last four complete growing seasons (based on available data). This data can be used by producers, land managers, and policy makers to assess current rotations to assist in future land management decisions.Crop rotation data is derirved from AAFC's publicly-available annual crop inventory data.
