The “Cereals and Pulses Science Sector by CCS” data was derived from the 2011 Census of Agriculture using published and draft documentation describing the Science Sector. It was created for facilitating the geographic description, analysis, and reporting of the sector. The selection of 2011 Census of Agriculture variables was derived from the “STB – AAFC Cereals and Pulses Strategy” (Version 21) document produced on February 25th, 2014 and states;“The cereal and pulse crops that fall within the scope of the STB’s programming and hence this sector science strategy are as follows: Cereals; Wheat (all classes), Barley (malt and feed), oats, rye, triticale, corn for grain Pulses; dry beans (white and coloured), dry peas ( green, yellow and other), lentils, chickpeas”.

These agricultural capability / Limitation maps can be used at the regional level for making decisions on land improvement and farm consolidation, for developing landuse plans, and for preparing equitable land assessments.

This data shows spatial density of pulses cultivation in Canada. Regions with higher calculated spatial densities represent agricultural regions of Canada in which pulese 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 2015 AAFC annual crop inventory data.

Topographic data for lakes within the Qu'Appelle River Valley in central Saskatchewan. This data was collected in the fall of 2008 and consists of contour lines, shorelines, spot heights, and tile index.

Soil and drainage and soil slope maps for Canada (SLC, 1:1,000,000), and detailed soil drainage and soil slope maps for British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. Soil zones of the prairies is also included as a separate layer.

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.

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. For more information, visit: http://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/1dee8513-5c73-43b6-9446-25f7b985cd00

This dataset is aligned to a grid that with a dataset of soil attributes following GlobalSoilMap standards and specifications at specified depth increments extending over the agricultural portion of Canada. The SLC map polygons were rasterized and combined with the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) 90 metre grid to create the gridded raster dataset. Weighted averages of soil attribute properties are generated from existing soil horizon information to conform to recognized fixed depth increments. Soil attribute weighted means are calculated by using all the soil components based on their areal extent in each SLC polygon. The polygonal attribute weighted mean averages are spatially represented by the grid. For more information, visit: http://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/cb29b370-3639-4645-9ef9-b1ef131837b7

The AAFC Infrastructure Flood Mapping in Saskatchewan - 50 centimetres is the LiDAR contours with an interval of 0.5m of the capture area of Saskatchewan. The contours were modeled from the ground class at a maximum vertical distance of 0.5m and a horizontal distance of 20 m. Breaklines were not used around water features therefore a uniform height of water bodies is not necessarily present if overlapping data was collected on different days. Major contours were defined every 5m and minor contours every 0.5 m. For more information, visit: http://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/4e964f96-1821-4214-9247-1faacda5af9c
