Congrats! I do understand the challenge that is producing crop maps. What type of technique did you use? Time series analysis?

@rnanclares Thanks! Each year we run a supervised decision-tree classifier over both optical (Landsat & Sentinel-2) and radar (RCM) images gathered from May through September across the country.

@rnanclares
During our pre-operational phase in 2009 & 2010 we created maps of only the Prairie provinces (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba) at 56m, because we used the AWiFS sensor on the Indian Resourcesat satellite as our optical input due to its large swath size.
In 2011 when it was decided to expand out to the rest of Canada we moved to Landsat and 30m because field sizes are smaller in the rest of the country.
We have remained at 30m since then even with adding Sentinel data.
