Crop development stage in a numerical scale. All living organisms move from one stage of development to the next over time. For annual crops, it life cycle (growing season) completed within a year. Crop water use differs from one stage to another mostly due to the differences in the amount of green leaves, thus crop stage is closely related to its water consumption and water stress condition. Crop stages are mostly controlled by growing season heat accumulation and regulated by day-length crop some crops. The crop stages provided here are determined by a biometeorlogical time scale model (Robertson, 1968) for cool season crops (wheat, barley etc.) , and a Crop Heat Unit (Brown and Bootsma, 1993) algorithm for warm season crops (corn and soybean etc.).

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.

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

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.

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.

The “Biomass Inventory Cartographic Layer” dataset provides the information that is used with the Biomass Report Framework to generate a visual representation of the availability of agricultural and forestry biomass and municipal solid waste in Canada. In addition to yield and production information for biomass produced by the agricultural and forestry industries, this dataset also provides information about the demand for agricultural residues for cattle feed and bedding, tillage systems currently in use on agricultural lands, and land suitability for hybrid poplar and willow plantations that are grown specifically to produce biomass. Agricultural information includes the median annual residue yield and available residue amounts. Residue yields were calculated using crop-to-residue ratios. The available residue information includes the amount that is available after adjusting for the estimated demand of straw used for cattle feed and bedding. Forestry estimates include average residue production, based on forestry activities including permitted amounts of harvesting, mills in operation and mill production. Municipal Solid Waste information includes organic waste (food and yard), paper waste and total residential municipal solid waste (which includes organic and paper waste, among others).

Small area data on field crops show seeded and harvested area, yield and production figures for most principal field crops and some special crops in Canada, at the census agricultural region level (except for Quebec, where small areas are defined by provincial administrative boundaries). The provinces covered are British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec. The data are available in metric and imperial units of measure, for periods ranging from 1976 to 2024. The data are derived from the results of the November Farm Survey of the preceding year, of which the production estimates were only expressed at the provincial level in early December.

Formerly known as the Nova Scotia Sportfish Registry, this dataset is a list of the current record holders for several popular Nova Scotia sportfish. There are both youth and adult, catch and release and catch and keep and smallmouth bass tournament categories.

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.
