One-Click Parcel Report: LSRS, Crop History, and Hazards for Any Canadian Quarter Section

Township Canada's /app/report/[lld]/pdf route bundles soil productivity, 5-year crop history, area, and Indigenous consultation flags into a print-friendly parcel report.

One-Click Parcel Report

For any supported quarter section in Western Canada, the URL /app/report/<legal-land-description>/pdf resolves to a print-friendly parcel report joined to the shipped agriculture and energy data layers.

What the report returns

Six cards per parcel:

  1. Legal description - the description normalized, GPS coordinates, area in acres, township/range/meridian
  2. LSRS soil productivity - 0-100 score with class label, sourced from AGRASID 4.1 (Alberta v1; SK in flight)
  3. 5-year AAFC crop history - dominant crop, year-by-year rotation, Shannon diversity (AB + SK)
  4. Indigenous consultation hazard - flag if the parcel sits within Treaty 4, 6, 7, 8, or 10 boundaries
  5. PDF layout - a browser-printable report page
  6. Save to portfolio - Agriculture Bundle subscribers (coming with the Land Portfolio Manager)

Three slug formats supported

The URL parser normalizes:

  • DLS quarter section: /app/report/SE-14-29-21-W2/pdf
  • NTS reference: /app/report/093P08/pdf
  • DLS section: /app/report/14-29-21-W2/pdf (returns the section level, no quarter-specific data)

Case-insensitive, hyphen-and-space tolerant. The same parser that powers the batch converter handles the URL.

Free-tier behavior (quota and paywall)

Anonymous visitors and Starter customers all get 5 parcel reports per calendar month. The cap is tracked by user_id when signed in, by salted-and-hashed IP otherwise. Rapid refreshes on the same parcel within one minute don't double-count.

When the cap is hit:

  • The full free-tier report still renders for the report page
  • A soft paywall card appears at the top with an upgrade CTA
  • The "Save to portfolio" and "PDF export" cards remain visible but disabled

The 5/month cap is intentional - it's enough for the occasional verification or sharing case, but not enough for the kind of portfolio-scale workflow that justifies an Agriculture Bundle subscription.

Agriculture Bundle

  • Unlimited reports - no monthly cap
  • Report PDF view - a browser-printable report page
  • Save to portfolio - coming with the Land Portfolio Manager
  • Full LSRS overlay on the map - see the LSRS productivity guide
  • Full AAFC overlay on the map - see AAFC crop history

Sharing and indexability

Report URLs are designed for sharing with teammates, buyers, tenants, and diligence reviewers. The phased sitemap rollout targets broad Prairie quarter-section coverage across three phases.

Use cases

Farmer checking a new lease. Pull the report on /app/report/SW-24-39-4-W5/pdf before signing. Two minutes of map work tells you what you're getting.

Investor pre-screening a deal sheet. Pull reports on the top-priority quarters in the portfolio. Read LSRS class, rotation, treaty overlap. PDF export for the diligence binder.

Carbon project developer. Pull the report on each parcel in the project boundary. AAFC crop history feeds directly into the TIER Conservation Cropping protocol baseline.

Ag retailer prospecting. Combined with the Territory tool - draw a polygon, get the parcel list, drill into the highest-priority parcels via individual report URLs.
