Use this when a user asks what farmers received, per month, for a crop or animal product (wheat, barley, oats, canola, soybeans, corn, potatoes, cattle, hogs, lambs, chickens, turkeys, milk, eggs) in a region of Canada, or how that price compares with the month before or a year earlier. Returns the newest monthly price the statistics office publishes for the product and region, in the unit the office uses (per tonne, per hundredweight, per dozen, per kilolitre), the month it applies to, the change on the previous month and a year earlier, the last 12 months, the same product in other regions, and the official source and licence. This is a published monthly average price received by farmers (price_type official_statistic), not a range built from sales, so the range fields are null and there is no sample size. How fresh: monthly, not live: Statistics Canada publishes each month's averages about six weeks after the month ends (August 2026 was released on 9 October 2026), and every answer states its reference month. Always read the month in the answer. Do not use for supermarket or shop prices, for wholesale market quotes, for the price of a particular farm, field or animal, for farmland, for fuel or energy, for futures prices, or for EU member states.
