Introduction and Methodology Since 1976, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, Economics and Competitiveness Branch, Statistics and Data Development Section has been conducting a monthly survey of prices for selected Alberta farm inputs. The prices are collected by the Alberta Federation of Agriculture in partnership with the Statistics and Data Development Section. In 2001, a comprehensive review of the survey was undertaken, to ensure that the inputs monitored were relevant and consistent with Alberta’s current farming practices and that there was adequate coverage across the province. Effective July 2001, the number of farm inputs priced monthly was increased from 45 to 53, and the number of centers monitored across Alberta expanded from 18 to 25. The revised list of farm inputs included a number of new inputs, while some of the old inputs were either dropped or modified. Further reviews were completed in June 2006, July 2007, and January 2012 to ensure continued relevance of the data. As such, some farm inputs in 2015 and 2016 are not comparable on a “year-over-year” basis with previous years. Just to caution, the monthly average prices in this report are intended to serve as a guide only. Actual prices at specific locations may differ from the provincial averages provided in this report.
