Release date: 2014-11-17 - 53. The Potential Use of Remote Sensing to Produce Field Crop Statistics at Statistics Canada ArchivedSurveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 11-522-X201300014259Description:
In an effort to reduce response burden on farm operators, Statistics Canada is studying alternative approaches to telephone surveys for producing field crop estimates. One option is to publish harvested area and yield estimates in September as is currently done, but to calculate them using models based on satellite and weather data, and data from the July telephone survey. However before adopting such an approach, a method must be found which produces estimates with a sufficient level of accuracy. Research is taking place to investigate different possibilities. Initial research results and issues to consider are discussed in this paper.
Release date: 2014-10-31 - 54. Pulses in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 96-325-X201400114041Description:
A pulse is an edible seed harvested from the pod of a variety of annual leguminous plants. Pulses grown in Canada include, mainly, dry beans, dry peas, lentils and chickpeas. Pulse area and production in Canada has increased since the 1980s, making the country one of the leading producers and exporters of pulses worldwide.

Farmers and corn breeders have developed multiple varieties suited to particular uses and adapted to distinct environments. In Canada, three broad types of corn dominate farmers' fields: corn for grain, corn for silage, and sweet corn.
Release date: 2014-03-18 - 22C0005Description:
The data in this file show seeded and harvested area, yield and production figures for most principal field crops and some special crops, at the Census Agricultural Region (CAR) level. The provinces covered are British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Québec. The data are available in both imperial and metric units of measure for 1976 to 2012. The data are derived from the November Farm Survey about production of principal field crops in Canada.
Release date: 2013-02-13 - 57. Field Crop Reporting Series ArchivedTable: 22-002-XDescription:
The eight publications in this series are released at strategic points in the crop year detailing farm stocks of grain, crop area, yield and production. Stock reports detail the farm-held stocks at the provincial level and farm-held plus commercial stocks at the Canada level for major Canadian grains. The first area report contains the planting intentions of producers while the June estimates are made after most of the seeding has been completed. Yields and levels of production by province are estimated twice, based on expectations to the end of harvest, while the November estimate is released after the harvest.
Release date: 2012-09-07 - Table: 22-007-XDescription:
This publication provides current grain marketing data and commentary on the major Canadian grains and their products. Detailed supply-disposition analyses are presented along with exports and imports, cash and futures prices and domestic use data. A monthly situation report provides industry highlights. Each issue is an up-to-date source of information for grain analysts, traders, agri-business and the farm community.
Release date: 2012-08-24 - 59. Changes in Crop Prices before and after Releases of Statistics Canada's Field Crop Reporting Series Publications ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-004-X201100111412Geography: CanadaDescription:
Statistics Canada administers six surveys per year to collect information on intended, seeded and harvested acreages, yields, production and stocks of principal field crops, and publishes these survey estimates in the Field Crop Reporting Series (FCRS). This paper analyses short-term movements in weekly crop prices from the week before the releases of FCRS to the week after the releases. Field crops included in this study are oats, canola, corn, flax, barley and wheat, while specialty crops studied are sunflower seed, canary seed, field peas, lentils, mustard seed, chick peas and green peas. The data for field crops cover a period from 1990 to 2009 and that for specialty crops cover varying periods from 1992 to 2009 based on their availability. The results reveal that the price changes before and after the official releases of FCRS tend to even out over time. The results also suggest that prices after the releases are as likely to increase as they are to decrease. Based on the findings, the study concludes that the publication of statistics in the FCRS has no systematic effect on crop prices. The results are consistent with the findings of the National Agricultural Statistics Service of the United States Department of Agriculture.
Release date: 2011-12-22 - 60. Canola: a Canadian success story ArchivedArticles and reports: 96-325-X200700010778Geography: CanadaDescription:
With its vibrant yellow flowers, a canola field is a beautiful sight. And its colour is a clue to its family history mustard. Canola refers to a particular group of rapeseed varieties, a species of the much larger mustard family that includes, besides mustard, turnips, cauliflower, cabbage and broccoli. While these plants have been bred for their roots (turnips), leaves (cabbage) or immature flower heads (cauliflower and broccoli), the rapeseed branch of the family was bred to maximize production of the high-oil seeds that are used to produce vegetable oil.
