Cool Canadian Resource

Well its cool if you are a geek. Which I am. It is not a new site, but if you are interested in the facts about Canada this is the place. It is from Statistics Canada. They have a site called The Daily and as titled they publish daily. It is a statistical look at all kinds of issues facing Canadians. For instance today they look at the probable crop production of the farmers on the Prairies:

Prairie farmers reported they expect to produce less wheat and canola in 2010 compared with 2009, while farmers in Ontario and Quebec could produce more soybeans. Summerfallow (land on which no crop will be grown during the year) increased in the Prairies to the highest level since 1999, mostly because of flooding in many regions during the 2010 planting season.

In the West, farmers reported that crop production will decline from 2009 levels, the result of persistent wet conditions in many areas.

This is interesting because in my newspaper this morning they were saying that in Alberta we were looking at higher than average yields. Anyway, worth looking at.
