Question 1

How much is farmland worth per acre in Alberta?

Accepted Answer

FCC's 2025 reference values for typical cultivated land were about CA$3,400 an acre in the Peace region, CA$5,200 in northern Alberta, CA$7,000 in central Alberta, CA$5,800 on southern dryland and CA$20,000 for irrigated land in the south (FCC Farmland Values Report 2025, March 2026). A specific quarter can sit well above or below its region depending on soil class, water, access and use. AI Assessor gives a free estimate for a specific quarter from its legal land description.

Question 2

Is there a free farmland value calculator for Alberta?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AI Assessor gives free, unlimited value estimates for Alberta farmland with no credit card. Enter the legal land description to get a value range with the soil class filled in. The full report with a PDF is CA$49 per property, or unlimited with Pro at CA$99 a month.

Question 3

Where does my farm data go when I use AI Assessor?

Accepted Answer

The valuation model runs in your browser, so farm details are not sent to a server to calculate the value. Soil and parcel lookups load public data files for the township. Accounts, saved reports and payments are stored with service providers (Supabase and Stripe). Farm data is not sold, shared with third parties or used to train outside models.

Question 4

What is CLI soil class and how does it affect farmland value?

Accepted Answer

The Canada Land Inventory rates agricultural capability from Class 1 (no significant limitations) to Class 7 (no capacity for arable agriculture). Better classes support more crops and higher yields, so they carry higher values. AI Assessor looks up the class for each quarter section in Alberta.

Question 5

Is an AI Assessor estimate an appraisal?

Accepted Answer

No. It is an estimate with a confidence range and the reasons behind it. Use it to screen land, price a listing or prepare for a lender conversation. When a lender, court or regulation requires an appraisal, you still need a designated appraiser.

Question 6

Which provinces does AI Assessor cover?

Accepted Answer

Alberta only. The soil data, survey grid, regional values and water rights logic are built for Alberta.

Question 7

What is in the full report?

Accepted Answer

The full report for one property has the point value and per-acre rate, land composition, soil class, water, factors and scenarios, the likely range and a PDF. It costs CA$49 per property, or is unlimited with Pro at CA$99 a month, which also puts your name on the PDF.
