Alberta Principal Crop Area Yield and Production 2005-2014

5 years of data on Alberta principal field crops includes seeded acres, harvested acres, yield per acre, and production tonnes. The dataset also contains a 10-year average production for wheat, barley, and canola from 2005-2014, plus Alberta's 2014 production as a percentage of the Canadian total.

Use Cases

• Analyze yield per acre trends across crop types to assess agricultural productivity changes.
• Compare seeded acres to harvested acres to calculate crop loss rates for different principal field crops.
• Model Alberta wheat, barley, and canola production using the provided 10-year average as a baseline forecast.
• Calculate Alberta's 2014 production share of the Canada total to understand provincial market contribution.

Strengths

• Covers a 5-year period for longitudinal analysis.
• Includes a calculated 10-year average for wheat, barley, and canola production.
• Provides Alberta's 2014 production as a percentage of the national total for context.

Limitations

• Specific row and column counts are unknown, limiting assessment of granularity.
• Data is static with a last update in 2026, but the core time range ends in 2014, making it stale for current analysis.
• Available only in HTML and XLSX formats, which may require parsing or conversion for programmatic use.
