AAFC [Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada] has identified a number of "stack sites" across Canada, each covered by a single Landsat scene representing about 2,775 square kilometres on the ground. These stack sites -- so named due to the "stacks" of annual satellite images associated with each site dating back to 1988 -- represent the range of conditions in Canada's agricultural area, in terms of soil landscapes, agricultural practices and activities.
