These three quarters of land are perfectly situated just 1.5 miles South of Endeavour SK. The very fertile soil will grow a variety of cash crops that will add to your farms bottom line as you look to expand your operation or increase investment income through growing rental rates and land appreciation. The Endeavour area of the province is also renowned for its incredible big game and bird populations making this land even more desirable to call your own. According to the owner, NW 28-36-05 W2 has a high probability of significant gravel deposits due to the proximity to numerous functioning gravel pits and the topography and composition of the land, however no testing has been done to date to determine the size of the potential deposits.

Moose Creek No. 33 Saskatchewan Information

The Rural Municipality of Moose Creek No. 33 (2016 population: 379) is a rural municipality (RM) in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within Census Division No. 1 and SARM Division No. 1. The RM of Moose Creek No. 33 incorporated as a rural municipality on 12 December, 1910.[2] Moose Creek United Church and Cemetery, also known as Moose Creek Methodist Church until 1925 when it joined the United Church, is an historical site located within the RM. Constructed in 1916, the United Church is located approximately 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) south-west of Carlyle.[5] The initial funding to build the church came from community donations and a $1,500 loan at 8% interest from John Hewitt. When he died in 1927, the balance of the loan was cancelled. The cemetery was established two years after the completion of the church, in 1918. The cemetery is the final resting place for many of the early settlers. The first wedding there was between Tom Cook and Isabel Wallace and was officiated by Reverend F.B. Ball[6] On 5 March, 1991, the church and cemetery were designated a Municipal Heritage Resource and on 10 August, they were added to the Register for Canada’s Historic Places. The heritage value of the property also lies in the landscape. The Moose Creek United Church and Cemetery is situated on large well-groomed grounds, reflecting property’s importance to the community. The borders are defined by a partial shelter belt, and the cemetery is further separated from the church grounds by a loosely-treed border and an ornate brick and iron gate.[7]The following urban municipalities are surrounded by the RM. The following unincorporated communities are within the RM. In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, the RM of Moose Creek No. 33 had a population of 306 living in 116 of its 136 total private dwellings, a change of -19.3% from its 2016 population of 379. With a land area of 828.74 km2 (319.98 sq mi), it had a population density of 0.4/km2 (1.0/sq mi) in 2021.[10] In the 2016 Census of Population, the RM of Moose Creek No. 33 recorded a population of 379 living in 132 of its 151 total private dwellings, a 1.9% change from its 2011 population of 372. With a land area of 842.03 km2 (325.11 sq mi), it had a population density of 0.5/km2 (1.2/sq mi) in 2016.[4] The RM of Moose Creek No. 33 is governed by an elected municipal council and an appointed administrator that meets on the second Wednesday of every month.[3] The reeve of the RM is Howard Sloan while its administrator is Sentura Freitag.[3] The RM’s office is located in Alameda.[3] Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_Municipality_of_Moose_Creek_No._33

Understanding Topsoil Depth in Alberta: Insights from AAFC SLC Version 3.2 Data

Topsoil depth is a critical factor for agricultural productivity, influencing water retention, nutrient availability, and root growth. The provided map of Alberta illustrates the topsoil depth in inches, highlighting significant regional variations. This analysis is based on data from the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) Soil Landscapes of Canada (SLC) Version 3.2.

Key Observations

The topsoil depth in Western Alberta and the Rockies is generally shallow, ranging from 0 to 6 inches. This is due to the rugged terrain and erosional processes associated with mountainous regions. The shallow topsoil in these areas supports forests and natural vegetation rather than extensive agriculture.

Central Alberta, including areas around Edmonton and Red Deer, exhibits moderate to deep topsoil depths, generally between 8 to 14 inches. These depths are conducive to productive agriculture, supporting a variety of crops. The deeper topsoil in central regions contributes to higher agricultural yields and sustainable farming practices.

In Southern and Eastern Alberta, regions such as Calgary and areas towards the Saskatchewan border show variable topsoil depths ranging from 6 to 10 inches. While suitable for agriculture, these areas may require careful soil management to maintain productivity. Areas with shallower topsoil are more drought-resistant and may need irrigation and soil conservation practices.

Regional Analysis

The Rocky Mountain Influence is evident in the shallow topsoil of the Rocky Mountain foothills, resulting from the rocky and rugged terrain, limiting soil accumulation. These areas are more suited to forest growth and natural vegetation rather than intensive agriculture.

In contrast, the Prairie Conditions in central Alberta benefit from moderate to deep topsoil, which is ideal for crop production and supports Alberta’s agricultural economy. Maintaining topsoil depth through conservation practices is essential for sustaining long-term agrarian productivity in these areas.

Implications for Agriculture

Understanding topsoil depth is crucial for effective soil management practices, including crop selection, irrigation, and fertilization. Farmers can use this data to optimize their farming practices, choosing crops suited to the available topsoil depth and implementing appropriate soil conservation measures. Deeper topsoil improves water retention and nutrient availability, which is essential for healthy crop growth and high yields.

Conclusion

The topsoil depth map of Alberta reveals significant regional variations influenced by geographical features such as the Rocky Mountains and the fertile plains of central Alberta. Understanding these variations is crucial for optimizing agricultural practices and ensuring sustainable farming. By leveraging this data, farmers can improve crop yields, manage soil health, and enhance overall agrarian productivity in Alberta.
