Canada's Agriculture Day is a day to recognize the work of all those who help produce the food that Canadians and people around the world eat.
Leduc County is an agricultural community, and we are proud to support all agricultural producers - big and small - and their commitment to their communities.
Canada is the fifth-largest exporter of agricultural and agri-product food in the world. In Leduc County, agriculture is our second largest industry and a critical contributor to our local economy, culture and the County's sustainability.
According to the 2021 Census of Agriculture:
- We have 977 farms occupying a total farm area of 494,831 acres.
- We have 1,365 farm operators.
- We have nearly $3 billion of farm capital at market value.
- We have more than 50 types of agricultural products, ranging from traditional crops such as cereals, oilseeds, dairy and beef as well as a growing number of farm-direct sales and agritourism enterprises.
