Agricultural Resource Inventory (ARI) - FinalCoordinate system: 4269 - "NAD83" Abstract:The Agricultural Resource Inventory (ARI) - Final includes agricultural operations polygons created for project areas across Ontario. These have been digitized against ortho imagery. The descriptions of these polygons include: Farms, Fields, Fencecrows and Roughland. Note: This dataset differs from the ARI - 1983, both in terms of coverage area and the way that the data has been classified. The ARI - 1983 dataset provides information on specific crops and field use, whereas this dataset broadly denotes land use. |

Mapping these systems provides an overview and reference of the location, quantity and quality of the use of agricultural land in Ontario. Accurate ARI information allows for more knowledgeable decision making. Improved decision making can enhance agricultural profitability, assist in crop planning and rotation, and aid the planning and monitoring of water and soil resources. Development has been driven by regionally-specific connections to watershed monitoring projects - each sub-watershed or catchment varying widely in size. AgRI development is supported through projects and not a program at this time. AgRI funding has been obtained mostly through competitive grants.Dataset Language:Status: completedUpdate Frequency: notPlannedSpatial Representation Type: vectorProcessing Environment:ArcGIS; ShapefileExtentWest Longitude: -83.124236East Longitude: -74.343380North Latitude: 45.643147South Latitude: 41.722736
