Township Canada for Farmers
Verify SCIC and AFSC quarter sections before filing, map new leases before signing, and pull a full parcel report with LSRS productivity and 5-year crop history.
What farmers do with Township Canada
You run the operation. Owned quarters, leased quarters, custom work, every parcel tracked by legal land description. The day-to-day is single lookups, lease checks, route planning to scout fields, and the seasonal push around SCIC and AFSC paperwork. Township Canada is built for that pace.
Before the SCIC seeded acreage report goes in
Every parcel on the report is reconciled against title records. A transposed range number, a wrong meridian, a wrong quarter - caught now, the form is fixed; caught later, you're amending paperwork mid-claim. Drop each description into the Saskatchewan converter or Alberta converter, confirm the pin lands on the field you actually farm. About 15 seconds per parcel.
Mapping a new lease before signing
A lease lists SW 24-039-04 W5M - land you haven't walked. Search the parcel to pull the legal description, GPS coordinates, area in acres, LSRS soil productivity, and the most recent 5 years of crop history. Fifteen minutes of map work before signing tells you what you're actually getting.
Finding any quarter by description
Soil samplers, custom sprayers, grain truck drivers don't always have GPS handy. They have NE 31-040-26 W3 on a sticky note. Enter it, get coordinates, share the pin to a phone. The quarter section finder covers the single-parcel workflow.
A day of field scouting
Eight parcels to check across three townships. Without routing that's 90 minutes of backtracking. The route planner takes a list of legal descriptions, converts them, and orders the stops to minimize driving time across range roads and township roads.
What's in the parcel report
For any DLS quarter section, the parcel report in the app pulls:
- Legal description - coordinates, acreage, township/range/meridian
- LSRS productivity - 0-100 soil productivity score from AGRASID 4.1 (Alberta v1; Saskatchewan coverage coming)
- 5-year AAFC crop history - dominant crop, rotation pattern, Shannon diversity index (Alberta + Saskatchewan)
- Treaty / Indigenous consultation flag - surfaces if the parcel sits within Treaty 4, 6, 7, 8, or 10 boundaries
Free tier (no account) gets 5 reports per month. Agriculture Bundle subscribers get unlimited reports with PDF export.
What it costs
