One-Click Parcel Report

For any quarter section in Western Canada, the URL /parcel/<legal-land-description> resolves to a complete report — server-rendered for sharing and SEO, joined to every shipped data layer.

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 export — Ag Farmer and Ag Investor tiers only (button visible, generation coming)
6. Save to portfolio — Ag Farmer and Investor tiers only (coming with the Land Portfolio Manager)

Three slug formats supported

The URL parser normalizes:

• DLS quarter section: /parcel/SE-14-29-21-W2
• NTS reference: /parcel/093P08
• DLS section: /parcel/14-29-21-W2 (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, Starter customers, and Ag Lite 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 SEO surface
• 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 Ag Farmer subscription.

Paid tier (Ag Farmer and above)

• Unlimited reports — no monthly cap
• PDF export — single-click download of the report (UI shipped, generator coming)
• 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

SEO and indexability

Every report URL is server-rendered with full Open Graph + JSON-LD Place schema. Free-tier reports are indexable; the soft paywall doesn't block crawler access. The phased sitemap rollout (see #164 spec) targets 100K+ Prairie quarter sections across three phases.

Use cases

Farmer checking a new lease. Pull the report on /parcel/SW-24-39-4-W5 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.
