7. The dryland productivity factor in respect of an applicant’s farmland shall be determined using the historic average crop insurance yields for wheat, barley and canola on similar soils within a geographic area, such as a crop insurance risk area, having similar levels of productivity, weighted by the proportions of the acreage of wheat, barley, canola and summerfallow within a geographic area, such as a rural municipality.

Considering that a large portion of the terrain in my riding is the Canadian Shield, which has poor, rocky soils where there is soil, production is substantial.

They are class 4 soils, which means they are most marginally productive agricultural soils, and their agricultural productivity is limited at the present time by climate.

It is a holistic system of production designed to both optimize productivity and encourage diversity in the communities within the agro ecosystem including soil organisms, plants and people; diversity at all levels below the soil and above the soil.
