Since 1976, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development, Statistics and Data Development Branch has carried out a monthly survey of prices for selected Alberta farm inputs. The prices are collected by Wild Rose Agricultural Producers in partnership with the Statistics and Data Development Branch.
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 to 53 from 45, and the number of centers monitored across Alberta expanded to 25 from 18. The revised list of farm inputs included a number of new inputs, while some of the old inputs were dropped or modified. Further reviews were done in June 2006 and July 2007 to ensure continued relevance
Monthly average prices reported are intended to serve as a guide only. Actual prices at specific locations may differ from these provincial averages.
As of April 1, 2009, this project was sponsored by Growing Forward, a federal-provincial-territorial agreement.
