These files from Statistics Canada present Census of Agriculture data allocated by standard census geographic polygons: Provinces and Territories (PR), Census Agricultural Regions (CAR), Census Divisions (CD) and Census Consolidated Subdivisions (CCS). Five datasets are provided:1. Agricultural operation characteristics: includes information on farm type, operating arrangements, paid agricultural work and financial characteristics of the agricultural operation.2. Land tenure and management practices: includes information on land use, land tenure, agricultural practices, land inputs, technologies used on the operation and the renewable energy production on the operation.3. Crops: includes information on hay and field crops, vegetables (excluding greenhouse vegetables), fruits, berries, nuts, greenhouse productions and other crops.4. Livestock, poultry and bees: includes information on livestock, poultry and bees.5. Characteristics of farm operators: includes information on age, sex and the hours of works of farm operators.Note: For all the datasets, confidential values have been assigned a value of -1.Correction notice: On January 18, 2023, selected estimates have been corrected for selected variables in the following 2021 Census of Agriculture domains: Direct sales of agricultural products to consumers (Agricultural operations category), Succession plan for the agricultural operation (Agricultural operators category), and Renewable energy production (Use, tenure and practices category).

This file outlines the boundaries of Manitoba Agriculture's crop reporting regions./This file describes the boundaries of Manitoba Agriculture's crop report regions.This file outlines the boundaries of the five crop reporting regions as specified in Manitoba Agriculture's Crop Report.The Manitoba Agriculture Crop Report provides information on progress of seeding and crop establishment, crop development, any pest activity including weeds, insects and disease, crop activity including weeds, insects and disease, harvest progress, insects and disease, harvest progress, insects and disease, harvest progress, crop yields and grades, fall field work progress, and status of winter cereal crop seeding and establishment. In addition, it provides information on haying progress and estimated yields, as well as pasture conditions.This file describes the boundaries of the five crop report regions as specified in the Agriculture Manitoba crop report.The Manitoba Agriculture crop report provides information on progress in planting and establishing crops, as well as crop establishment, vegetative development, pest activities including weeds, insects, and diseases, harvest progress, yields and crop rankings, progress on field work in the fall, and the status of planting and establishing winter cereal crops. In addition, it provides information on the haymaking process and estimated yields, as well as on pasture conditions.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

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.

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 2025. 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.

There are fourteen major and four minor field trial regions in Canada and USA. Each of these regions recognizes physical characteristics, such as soils, and crops and climate, that make the region unique. The subzones address differences within a region, generally reflected in the types of crops grown in that region. The Canadian regions, as much as possible, correspond to the U.S. regions.The trial regions contain number of field trials by specific crop.

Small area data (SAD) on field crops show seeded and harvested area, yield and production estimates for most principal field crops and some special crops in Canada. Most SAD geographies correspond exactly with the Census Agriculture Region (CAR) limits, excepts for some regions of Quebec (where small areas are defined by provincial administrative boundaries), Saskatchewan (where small areas coincide with census divisions boundaries as of 2017) and British Columbia.For exact correspondence between Census Agricultural Regions (CAR) and Small Area Data (SAD) Regions, see the following link:https://www.statcan.gc.ca/eng/statistical-programs/document/3401_D2_V2These regions are associated with Statistics Canada estimates on principal field crops available in the following table: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=3210000201

The number of days in the forecast period with a minimum temperature below the frost temperature, -30°C for woody crops over the dormant period (ifd_wood_dorm).Week 1 and week 2 forecasted index is available daily from November 1 to March 31.Week 3 and week 4 forecasted index is available weekly (Thursday) from November 1 to March 31.Over-wintering crops are biennial and perennial field crops such as herbaceous plants (strawberry, alfalfa, timothy, and many other forage crops) and woody fruit trees (apple, pear, peach, cherry, plum, apricot, chestnut, pecan, grape, etc.). These crops normally grow and develop in the growing season and become dormant in the non-growing season. However, extreme weather and climate events such as cold waves in the growing season and ice freezing events during the winter are a major constraint for their success of production and survival in Canada. The winter survival of these plants depends largely on agrometeorological conditions from late autumn to early spring, especially ice-freezing damage during the winter season. The optimum temperature for such crops is 25°C.Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) and Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) have together developed a suite of extreme agrometeorological indices based on four main categories of weather factors: temperature, precipitation, heat, and wind. The extreme weather indices are intended as short-term prediction tools and generated using ECCC’s medium range forecasts to create a weekly index product on a daily basis.
