<p>This layer was converted to a shapefile from a Esri File Geodatabase from Open Canada Portal, <a href="https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/0b2303be-ef05-49a8-8082-44a3eabcfa57">https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/0b2303be-ef05-49a8-8082-44a3eabcfa57</a> by CanWin staff.</p>
<p>The “Prairie Agricultural Landscapes (PAL)” datasets identify areas of the agricultural portions of the Canadian Prairies with similar land and water resources, land use and farming practices. They are represented by vector polygons.</p>
<p>Based on selected attributes from the Soil Landscapes of Canada (SLC) and the 1996 Census of Agriculture, the Prairies were classified into 13 (thirteen) classes of Land Practices Group and five (5) Major Land Practices Groups.</p>
<p>Typical attributes used to define the Land Practice Groups include: land in pasture, land in summerfallow, crop mixture, farm size and the level of chemical and fertilizer inputs.</p>
<p>The five (5) Major Groups were devised to help better understand the relationships between the groups.</p>
