Extent Of Canada's Agricultural Soil Resources Difficult To Determine
Dr. A Leahey explains in the Agricultural Institute Review that precise estimates of Canada's arable soils depend on completing soil surveys nationwide. He notes large areas of bare rock, Precambrian Shield and Cordillera restrictions, climate limits, and swamps reduce arable potential. Census data show 175 million acres farmed with 89 million cultivated, and about 53 million in native pasture. He estimates at least five percent of cultivated land should be retired to grass or woodland, with gradual expansion of arable land as surveys finish.
