Image showing Agriculture Canada's 2024 Annual Crop Inventory for the agricultural regions of Quebec. In addition to mapping what was grown in each field by satellite imagery, we also include the surrounding landcovers (forest, water, urban, etc...) so that people can see how things change over time.

Zoom-in of the agricultural area surrounding Lac Saint-Jean, QC. Reds indicate fields of berries, mainly blueberry with some cranberries in a slightly lighter shade. Purple represents wetlands, with dark purple indicating where peat extraction is occuring. Cyan are showing fields of buckwheat. The various shades of yellow/gold fields are showing crops like corn, soy, small grain cereals (oats, barley), forages and pasture lands.

In southern Quebec long narrow fields of corn (pale yellow) and soybean (dark gold) dominate the area. However three of the central Monteregian Hills (left to right: Mont Saint-Hillaire, Mont Rougemont, Mont Yamaska) covered in deciduous forests pop up from the landscape. At the base of two of these hills you will find numerous apple orchards (coral pink).

This week we released our 2024 Annual Crop Inventory for the Ag extent of #Quebec.

A piece of the 2024 Annual Crop Inventory map of Quebec. The red arrow on the image is pointing to a light grey-ish field in the image. This colour represents quinoa in the map colour table. The town of Alma is to the right, shown in dark pink.

Here's photo of a field of quinoa I took while getting a tour of it in Saskatchewan in 2018. A very interesting an unique crop it comes in a variety of colours. This particular field was of the golden variety I believe.

Checking our 2024 Quebec Crop Inventory Map & I noticed a colour I don't see often

The grey represents a field of quinoa grown outside the town of Alma, QC

Not too often I see that grown outside of the Prairies

2024 failed Annual Crop Inventory attempt to classify fields near Cormack, Newfoundland. The majority of fields were classed as potato when that was not the case.

#cropmap24 observation points collected by a survey team in July 2024. These were used to help understand the problem with the failed map classification.

An example of why quality control checks are useful.

Our classifier decided to call almost every field near Cormack, NL as potato🤷‍♂️

Are there potato fields there? Yes.
Was there that many in 2024? No.

How do I know?
A #cropmap24 ground team was there
