Introducing the Ag Bundle — Parcel Reports, LSRS, AAFC Crop History, and a Territory Tool
A three-tier vertical for Canadian agriculture: Lite for occasional verification, Farmer for full overlays and unlimited reports, Investor for the Territory & Prospecting polygon tool.
A central Alberta crop farmer sits down in late May to verify her SCIC seeded acreage report. Twelve insured quarter sections, three new leases this year, two she's still deciding on. She needs to confirm each description, see what's been grown on the new leases over the last five years, and check soil productivity before signing the final two.
Five years ago that took a day across AFSC documents, AAFC's published crop inventory rasters, the AGRASID viewer, and Google Maps. Township Canada's new Ag Bundle does it in fifteen minutes from a single workspace.
The three tiers
Three plan IDs, three customer profiles:
Ag Lite — $20 CAD/month. Five parcel reports per month, LSRS soil productivity lookup, AAFC 5-year crop history lookup. For the producer who runs three or four verifications a year — SCIC paperwork, the occasional new lease check, that kind of pace.
Ag Farmer — $50 CAD/month. Unlimited parcel reports with PDF export, full LSRS productivity overlay on the map (Alberta v1), full AAFC crop history overlay on the map (Alberta and Saskatchewan), treaty / Indigenous consultation hazard flags. For working farmers and crop insurance adjusters dealing with claim events at scale.
Ag Investor — $100 CAD/month. Everything in Farmer, plus the Territory & Prospecting polygon tool with CSV export pre-mapped for Salesforce and HubSpot, and the Land Values panel (when the underlying free-data path research completes). For farmland investors, ag retailers, grain companies, and large-farm management firms.
The features behind the tiers
What actually justifies the spread:
One-click parcel report at /parcel/[lld]. For any DLS quarter section: legal description, GPS, area, LSRS productivity (0-100), 5-year crop rotation, dominant crop, Shannon diversity, treaty overlap. Server-rendered for indexability + Open Graph previews for sharing. Lite caps at 5 reports/month; Farmer and Investor are unlimited.
LSRS productivity overlay. Spring-cereal suitability score per Alberta quarter section, sourced from AGRASID 4.1. Colour-coded map ramp from class 1 (Excellent, $90-100$) to class 7 (Unsuitable, $0-14$). Saskatchewan coverage is in flight via a compute pipeline (AGRASID + SKSIS + climate + DEM) since national AAFC LSRS doesn't exist for SK.
AAFC Annual Crop Inventory. Five-year rolling window of dominant crop, rotation, and Shannon diversity per 1km cell. Alberta and Saskatchewan coverage. Same colour table AAFC publishes, so the visual matches what producers already see on the AAFC viewer.
Territory & Prospecting tool (Investor only). Draw a polygon. Get every parcel inside, joined to LSRS and AAFC dominant crop, with summary stats (parcel count, total acres, dominant crop mix, weighted-average LSRS) and a CSV export with Salesforce / HubSpot column mapping. The Investor-only differentiator — covers the territory-mapping workflow that ag retailers and grain companies do today in standalone GIS.
Where the tier model lands
For the first time, the three tiers reflect real shipped product. An Ag Lite customer hits the 5-report cap and the soft paywall shows up at the top of the next parcel report. An Ag Farmer customer doesn't. An Ag Investor customer additionally has the Territory tool that Farmer doesn't. The pricing and the product are aligned.
Who this is for
- Working farmers verifying SCIC and AFSC paperwork, evaluating new leases, route-planning field scouting days. See Township Canada for Farmers.
- Farmland investors screening acquisition pipelines, reconciling titles, polygon-scoping portfolio additions. See Township Canada for Farmland Investors.
- Ag retailers and grain companies mapping territories, prospecting customers, routing field agronomists. See Township Canada for Ag Retailers.
- Crop insurance adjusters and AFSC/SCIC agents processing claim events at scale. See Township Canada for Insurance Adjusters.
How to subscribe
The Ag Bundle is a vertical replacement of any existing plan — Ag customers have plan='ag_lite', 'ag_farmer', or 'ag_investor' rather than the standard Starter / Pro / Business. The signup flow is straightforward from /pricing for new customers; existing Ag customers see the tier-comparison panel on /app/account for in-tier upgrades and downgrades.
Upgrades are in-place via stripe.subscriptions.update with proration — no double-billing. Downgrades schedule at period end via Stripe subscription schedules.
What's still roadmapped
- Land Portfolio Manager — owned/leased/prospect parcel tracking with lease renewal alerts. Specced; ships post-launch.
- Land Values panel (Investor) — regional FCC aggregates per RM/district. Pending source-rights research.
- Saskatchewan LSRS coverage — compute pipeline in flight.
- Operator name inference in Territory CSV — pending legal sign-off on inference methodology.
