Launching `/app/parcel/[lld]` - A One-Click Report for Any Canadian Quarter Section
Township Canada's new parcel report bundles LSRS soil productivity, 5-year crop history, area, and Indigenous consultation flags into a single shareable URL - indexable for SEO and built for sharing.
Drop any DLS legal land description into the URL - townshipcanada.com/app/parcel/SE-14-29-21-W2 - and get a complete report on that quarter section. Server-rendered for sharing and indexability, joined to every shipped data layer, with a soft paywall on the free tier that surfaces an upgrade CTA without blocking crawlers.
This is the One-Click Parcel Report - the first tier-defining Ag Bundle feature and the SEO acquisition wedge for the whole Ag product line.
What the report returns
For any quarter section in Alberta and Saskatchewan (coverage expanding):
- Legal description, normalized - DLS notation, GPS coordinates, area in acres, township / range / meridian
- LSRS soil productivity - 0-100 score with class label, sourced from AGRASID 4.1 (Alberta only; no open LSRS dataset exists for SK, so SK is on the roadmap)
- 5-year AAFC crop history - dominant crop across the window, year-by-year rotation array, Shannon diversity index (Alberta and Saskatchewan)
- Indigenous consultation hazard - flag if the parcel sits inside Treaty 4, 6, 7, 8, or 10 boundaries
- PDF export - Agriculture Bundle subscribers (button shipped, generator next)
- Save to portfolio - Agriculture Bundle subscribers (with the Land Portfolio Manager when that ships)
The free-tier model
Every logged-in Pro or Business user gets one free combined report (Agriculture + Energy data together in a single PDF). That one-time report is enough for the occasional verification or a parcel link someone sent you. Anonymous users and Starter plan users are not eligible. For the kind of portfolio-scale workflow that needs unlimited reports, the Agriculture Bundle (stacks on Pro or Business, see pricing) is the right fit.
Why server-rendered matters
The report URL is built to be the marketing surface, not just an in-app tool. Every page has:
- Full Open Graph meta tags with auto-generated descriptions from the report data
- JSON-LD
Placeschema with coordinates and additional properties - Canonical URL set to the parcel URL itself
- A canonical slug format that's case-insensitive and whitespace-tolerant
A planned phased sitemap rollout will submit ~100K parcel URLs to Google over three phases - 10K, 30K, 60K. Once indexed, search queries like "NE 14-32-21 W3 acres" should resolve to the parcel report at the top of the search results.
Use cases the report enables
Farmer checking a new lease. Two minutes of map work before signing - soil productivity, recent rotation, treaty exposure.
Investor pre-screening a deal sheet. Pull reports on the top quarters in a 60-parcel portfolio. PDF export for the diligence binder.
Crop insurance adjuster onboarding. Send the parcel link to a junior adjuster as part of the claim brief.
Sharing a parcel link to a buyer, tenant, or counterparty. The Open Graph preview shows the area, soil rating, and dominant crop before they click. See Share a Parcel Link for the full pattern.
Carbon project developers evaluating Conservation Cropping protocol baselines - the AAFC rotation history is exactly the data the TIER protocol requires.
What's NOT in the report yet
- PDF generator - button visible, generation coming
- Save-to-portfolio - UI stub; the Land Portfolio Manager ships next
- Ownership info - pending ISC Map Search redistribution rights confirmation
How to use it now
Try it: SE-14-29-21-W2, NW-22-44-9-W5, NE-31-40-26-W3. Any DLS or NTS legal land description resolves to its report.
Once your free combined report is used, the Agriculture Bundle (stacks on Pro or Business, see pricing) unlocks unlimited reports and the full map overlays.
