Example Land Report: a Farm Quarter in Camrose County, Alberta
Water and wells
Nearby well records suggest completed wells around 43 m deep, with static water levels often 14–36 m below surface. The predominant aquifer on file is Horseshoe Canyon Formation sandstone bedrock. Camrose County is prime black-soil grain land, and most farm wells finish in Horseshoe Canyon sandstone. Depth is moderate, but water chemistry varies: iron and hardness are routine, and sodium shows up in some townships.
Climate and growing season
Hardiness zone 3a, with about 115 frost-free days. Zone 3b and about 112 frost-free days support a wide crop list. The Battle River valley and lake lowlands run colder on still nights.
Solar
Typical summer irradiance is near 6.2 kWh/m²/day and winter near 0.9. Open, gently rolling fields give a dependable summer figure, and winter sun is a touch better than north of Edmonton. Grid-tied systems pay back mostly on summer export.
