For the 2024-25 the outlook incorporates the results of Statistics Canada’s (STC) November Farm Survey of crop production, which was released on December 5, 2024, and was based on a survey of approximately 27,200 Canadian farms, conducted from October 4 to November 7, 2024. These are the last official estimates for crop production from STC for 2024 and replace the modelbased estimates that were released on September 16, 2024. The estimate for total principal field crop production increased by 1.2% from the previous model-based estimate released in September. Production of all principal field crops is now estimated to have increased 2.7% year-over-year (y/y), which would be 3.3 % above the previous five-year average. The increase was largely due to improved yields in Western Canada, as overall production in this region increased 3.3% y/y and was 2.5% higher than the five-year average.

The next AAFC Outlook for Principal Field Crops is scheduled to be released on January 20, 2025.
