Darlington Brandon University Brandon, Manitoba R7A 6A9 Canada Abstract. Farmsteads reflect more than the nature and health of agricul­ tural activity on individual farms and across geographic regions; they pro­ vide a reliable record ofother aspects ofcultural and economic adjustment and change. This paper considers the farmsteads constructed by the Ukrai­ nian immigrants and their descendants who settled in one district of the Canadian prairies beginning in 1896. A field survey of four townships reveals that between the time of initial settlement and the present four distinct generations offarm structures were erected.

  • Farmland Values Report
    2019 FCC FARMLAND VALUES REPORT This report covers the period from January 1 to December 31, 2019 Published on April 6, 2020 Contents 2 Introduction 3 Methodology 4 National trend 5 Provincial comparison 6 British Columbia 9 Alberta 11 Saskatchewan 13 Manitoba 15 Ontario 17 Quebec 19 New Brunswick 20 Nova Scotia 21 Prince Edward Island 22 Newfoundland and Labrador 23 Contact 2019 FCC Farmland Values Report Farm Credit Canada (FCC) understands the value of having access to solid market information when making management decisions. That’s why we compile and release the Farmland Values Report. It tracks and highlights average changes in farmland values – regionally, provincially and nationally – and provides a value indicator that allows for a region- to-region price-per-acre comparison. Price, of course, is only one factor to be considered when purchasing land. Other factors include the location, timing of an expansion, and the individual’s financial situation and personal goals. Producers should have and maintain a risk management plan that considers possible economic changes to ensure budget flexibility if commodity prices, yields or interest rates shift. Market conditions can change rapidly, which can impact land values. This report describes changes from January 1 to December 31, 2019. It provides one source of information to help producers manage risk and make informed business decisions. This year’s Farmland Values Report reflects factors that influenced average land values and prices in 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Any impact from the pandemic will be captured in future reports. 2019 FCC FARMLAND VALUES REPORT Methodology FCC established a system based on benchmark farm properties to monitor variations % Change in farmland values in cultivated land values across Canada.
